What’s the harm if it reboots if you’re sleeping?
- Jtsummers 2y agoVery little, which is why if you enable automatic updates on iPhones they try to apply those updates at night while the device is locked and charging, when most people are sleeping. If you're using the phone it won't activate at night and will let you know that it couldn't install the update.
- stackskipton 2y agoOnly harm I could see if someone grabs their phone to make emergency call and it's rebooting or locked and in their sleepy state, have trouble unlocking it. However, I do think 12 hour "Phone hasn't been unlocked, reboot it" seems logical security feature to add.
- Jtsummers 2y agoYou never need to unlock an iPhone to make an emergency call (if you mean 911 versus urgently needing to call some other number).
- potato3732842 2y agoThe initial unlock will take a little longer, your apps aren't running, etc. Nothing major, still a bit annoying though.
- Suppafly 2y agoDo alarms work on iphones if they are in the BFU state? I'm pretty sure they don't on my android, because it hasn't even unlocked most of the bootloader if you haven't put your pin in.
- Jtsummers 2y agoYes. If your iPhone updates over night (as I mentioned in another comment, common time for automatic updates or just to kick them off manually) your alarm still goes off the next day after it restarts.
