Good one, though I can see there is a problem with this "algorithm"! haha :-)

  What might it be? I assumed the code is just 4 digits long but judging by the quick downvotes people aren't even considering this to be a possibility.

    There's a mechanism that wipes the device after too many incorrect code attempts. Disabling this mechanism was the entire point of the FBI/Apple lawsuit.

      I am pretty sure a reboot bypasses that mechanism.

        Why would you be pretty sure of that? That would be totally braindead if a simple reboot bypassed the limit. It doesn't. There was a flaw in an earlier iOS version where you could reboot the phone a few milliseconds after an incorrect PIN, before the phone recorded the failure, but that was fixed some time ago.
