I don't see why people aren't coming to the logical conclusion: turning off an iOS device should always require the device passcode.

- inertial 10y agoWhat if your phone hangs (input/touch ID stops responding too). You have to resort to a forced shutdown. If that requires a password, how would you reset the phone while you are travelling ?
- kobayashi 10y agoA 'forced shutdown' (by holding the Power and Home button for 8+ seconds) does not simply shutdown the device. Rather, it forces a reboot, which would not effect the security implications of requiring a passcode to fully power off.
