Seems like a front-end bug? So just access the API directly, or ask someone who knows how to do that? Plenty of iOS-focused reverse engineers out there.

  How? The article states: > For the same reason, plugging in an external keyboard is also a no-go since freshly updated iPhones are placed in what's known as a Before First Unlock state, which prevents wired accessories from working until the passcode is entered. The user can't even enter their passcode, how do you expect them to perform code execution?

    Plugging in a USB keyboard is way higher level than what I'm talking about. You can contact a digital forensics firm, and they'll do it for you. It'd be custom hardware. Cellebrite-type stuff.

        Why would it have to be free?

          Do you know what the cost of breaking into a fully up to date BFU iPhone is?
          • 0x3f 6mo ago
            They're not breaking in; he knows the password. Also, it's not fully up-to-date; it's an iPhone 13.

              These help but I do not expect them to make the option affordable
