Apple quietly rolled out a security feature in its iOS 18.1 update that reboots a device after 4 days of inactivity.After the reboot, the device enters a "Before First Unlock" (BFU) which requires the user to enter the original password in order to access the device.While this is a great deterrent for thieves, law enforcement authorities have been caught in the crosshairs, as they're finding it difficult to collect evidence from confiscated devices.The post Apple's New Auto-Rebooting' Safety Feature Is a Headache for Thieves - And Cops appeared first on Techreport.
