iOS 18 Auto-Reboot Feature Enhances iPhone Security After Inactivity

Apple's iOS 18 introduces a security feature that causes iPhones to reboot every three days if left inactive, enhancing security by placing the device in a 'Before First Unlock' state where data is fully encrypted. This makes it harder for forensic tools used by law enforcement and others to access the device. Initially set for a 7-day reboot, the feature was shortened to three days with iOS 18.1. The feature was discovered by law enforcement after noticing spontaneous reboots, although Apple has not officially commented on it.

Apple's iPhone Update Sparks Police Concerns Over Mysterious Reboots

Apple's new iOS 18.1 update includes a security feature that causes iPhones to automatically reboot from the After First Unlock (AFU) state to the Before First Unlock (BFU) state after four days of inactivity. This makes it more difficult for law enforcement to unlock the devices using tools like Cellebrite, as the BFU state is more secure. While this feature is seen as a challenge for police investigations, it is designed to protect users from having their phones exploited by thieves who might try to unlock them over time.
