Cops in Detroit are sending out a warning about what they suspect is a new security feature in iOS 18.

If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.

Note to those wishing for such a function, it’s possible by creating an iOS Shortcut - New Shortcut > Shutdown > Change it to ‘Restart’.

From there, you create an automation in Shortcuts to run based on time, location, etc.

Someone said it in another thread yesterday, baseband memory leak. The firmware for that shit is terrible, I’ve had to deal with it in the past.

The police could just ask Apple, it isn’t like they are going to have some secret reboot process that they would hide from the police.

Phones that are repeatedly attempted to be unlocked auto hard reset. Been a feature for years.

Hot take: this is actually a bug not a feature.
