If they went with something more aggressive (like 24 hours) it might annoy more users, especially those who keep their phones locked for a while but don't use them constantly
- Washuu 2y agoI'm one of those people. I charge my phone once a week. Most of my interaction with it is notifications on the lock screen.

- Hamuko 2y agoI imagine the number of people who don't unlock their iPhones in ≥24 hours is a vanishingly small percentage of the userbase. Especially since with new iPhones, just looking at the lockscreen with your face unobscured is enough to unlock it.
- oarsinsync 2y agoI imagine a vanishingly small percentage of the user base is still a very large number of people, that as an absolute number, would make up a significant percentage of the users of any other product. Apple’s scale is so large, it’s easy to forget even tiny percentages are still actually really significant in absolute terms.
- tlb 2y agoYour phone knows how often you normally use it. It could do something intelligent based on a usage pattern to restart when there’s an unusually long gap. I can see this being too hard to explain compared to “reboots after 72 hours.”
- eleveriven 2y agoThat would be a good solution! A concept that merges predictive behavior with user convenience
- carstenhag 2y agoUsers that have an iPhone just for work would be affected with a 24h check. Even with 72h they might be affected, but it would be fewer (if you assume they work Fridays and Mondays)
