The devices have to be paired though (with the trusted computer thing), and to complete that pairing process you need to unlock your phone with the passcode, if it is locked. If it's unlocked you just have to poke a dialog button, but if it's unlocked you're screwed anyway :)
- pilif 12y agoYes. That's the official method. What I'm concerned about is the backdoor that allows pairing without previously unlocking the device. Apple does neither confirm nor deny it exists, so we have to assume it exists. And when it exists, it could have been given to various law enforcement agencies or stolen by criminals which now use it for identity theft. Which is why I prefer my hardware not to be backdoored.
