Unlock the devices? If the owner used fingerprint authentication or a passphrase, I would hope Apple can't unlock those devices.
Also, I would imagine not everyone would want their devices unlocked by family members if they die say in an accident.
- a3n 11y ago> I would imagine not everyone would want their devices unlocked by family members if they die say in an accident. That's just a normal part of living and dying. If you want a specific thing to happen or not happen after you die, digital or not, you either put it in your will, or you let the state's default occur. Notwithstanding the further policies of any organization like Apple. Seriously, if it matters to you, make a will.

- amirmc 11y agoIf the opinion of the dead didn't matter, Wills would be pointless. In this scenario, if you don't want the living to access your phone, then just state that.
- stretchwithme 11y agoIt should only matter to you if you think you or someone you care about will die some day.
- hobarrera 11y ago> It should only matter to you if you think you or someone you care about will die some day. Why? When I'm dead, anything that anybody does will no affect me. (assuming I had an iPhone) Apple shouldn't not-unlock it because I might not want that. I want nothing, since I'm dead.
