If this is true it is an impressive security debacle for a company like Apple, "allow siri access while the iPhone is locked" should clearly be off by default, and the user should be alerted about the potential dangers when deciding to turn it on.
- interpol_p 13y agoI was under the impression that this was by design. I guess it depends what expectations you have for a passcode lock. My expectation is that my phone is reasonably secure from co-workers when I leave it on my desk for fifteen minutes at a time. And that if stolen, I have enough time to remote-wipe it before the passcode is bypassed.
- mikemoka 13y agoWhen a door is locked I don't expect it to open by saying "let me through", with all the specific differences I think this is a reasonably common expectation to have.
- interpol_p 13y agoI am quite sure that is not correct in this case. You have some limited access to features while Siri is on, only if the allow with passcode option is enabled. You do not have full run of the entire phone, nor are you able to bypass the lock screen.

- linker3000 13y agoMy expectation is that any device I own is as secure as possible by default until I choose otherwise.
- interpol_p 13y agoThen your expectation will not be met by most devices.
