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.

- noobie 11y agoI am pretty sure a reboot bypasses that mechanism.
- function_seven 11y agoWhy 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.
