I would imagine that "disable USB port" doesn't mean it completely disables the power lanes, only stops responding on the data lanes. So when you come back from your 8 day trip you charge your phone, log in, and theoretically ios would re-enable the USB port once successfully logged in.
- PuffinBlue 8y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted, you're correct and it's stated in the article that if you unlock with a passcode after 7 days the USB port begins to respond again. Apple isn't going to design a feature that bricks a device after 7 days. It really simple: 1) No unlock for 7 days = USB turned off. 2) Unlock phone any time after 7 days (lets imagine unlocking at 12 days) and USB turns on. 3) Charging remains active at all times. Simple.
