On: Reverse Engineering iOS 18 Inactivity Reboot

> Apple puts this out there to break iPad-based DIY home control panels

If you were using an iPad as a home control panel, you'd probably disable the passcode on it entirely - and I believe that'd disable the inactivity reboot as well.

I dunno, does this SEP check only happen when the device is locked? I don’t recall that being mentioned.

I can't imagine how "time since last unlock" would even work for a device with no passcode, since the user never explicitly unlocks the device. Besides, a reboot wouldn't do anything useful in that configuration; with no passcode, user data is always accessible.

You could also set the auto-lock in display settings to never.
