"iPhone thieves with your passcode"
That's the article.
- throwaway290 4y agoOr just an unlocked iPhone? I can't confirm bc the article is paywalled but if this trick works with any unlocked iPhone then I am very interested. Plenty of cases where it is snatched from your hands on the street and accessed while unlocked, and then it's a race of whether you can wipe it first. Don't have another device at hand... unlucky.

- loonginthetooth 4y agoYeah it's maybe not a concern for everyone, but where I live every once in a while someone gets held at knifepoint and forced to unlock their phone. I set up a screen time password just in case.
