On: New Apple security feature reboots iPhones after 3 days, researchers confirm

[lxgr]

Woah, I never cease to be surprised by the unexpected kinds of things that Shortcuts allows (given all the obvious ones it does not). Thank you!

Out of curiosity (and because I'm not going to try that for tomorrow morning) – does that kill my alarms, or does iOS schedule/store these somewhere accessible before first unlock?

It’s actually pretty powerful and you can have automation tigger based on all sorts of things.

I travel a lot so have it turn on specific data SIMs when GPS detects I’m in that country.

iOS alarms continue to work after overnight upgrades which involve a reboot, and also work when you plug in a dead phone before bed, so they’ve apparently figured this out.

AFAIK there's (private?) API surface to request a container that isn't encrypted to your PIN specifically for the lock screen to work.
