Many years ago, when it wasn’t possible to set a strong iPhone password, I worked out I could construct an Exchange ActiveSync profile enabling a strong password policy instead of a four digit number. I didn’t have a corporate Exchange server so I pushed it to the device using the fantastic and open source z-push. A strange length to have to go to mind. I also used this method to force full device encryption and wiping device after 10 failed attempts. All of these are now possible to configure in settings now and device encryption is on by default.
