Blog seems to be hugged to death, so I might be uninformed.
What exactly happens after the 7 days? My girlfriend's iPad got blocked on vacation (bluetooth keyboard in a bag causing random inputs). To get it fixed, we needed to connect to a computer. Would this mean that if you don't get to a computer within 7 days it would be essentially be bricked?
- symmitchry 8y agoIf the device is not unlocked for 7 days, the USB port stops working (for anything but charging.) It won't brick the device, which can still be unlocked any time, it just prevents someone from taking more than 7 days to hack open your phone, via the USB. edit: so in your case, perhaps yes, you would have been hooped.
