I'm also reminded of the text on Toynbee tiles [1]:

How long ago? The resource fork was limited to 16 MB (it used 24-bit pointers in some places), so you can't have been swapping that much data out.

This would have been in the early 1990s, I'd guess.

EDIT: I just checked the sources: it was mid 1993. Back then, a Macintosh Classic II would have been a common machine and shipped with 2 MB of RAM. Older machines often had only 1 MB of RAM.


It's not based on communication, though. It's based on how long it's been since the phone was last unlocked - which is an even stronger safeguard, since it can't be spoofed.

That seems very unlikely.

Apple doesn't save your physical SIM PIN, so it would mean leaving your phone untouched for a while would automatically make it unreachable, since you need to enter the SIM PIN after a reboot.


Untouched and out of range of all cellular networks (disregarding the SIM), most likely; we don’t know how long, though.

If your phone hasn’t connected to a cellular network in weeks and is locked in a stationary box 23.9 hours a day or more, then I’m not sure I would be surprised if it becomes automatically unreachable in this way eventually — it’s becoming unreachable any time it reboots for an overnight iOS update already, right? so an inactivity reboot isn’t going to have a worse impact than that already does.

(Note that physical SIMs were discontinued in late 2022 models, but it allows you to set an eSIM PIN with the same effect.)


As noted elsewhere; turns out it’s 96 hours of inactivity, no other criteria.

I wonder how many people that would actually affect? All iPhones that support iOS 18 support eSIM. Starting with iPhone 14 all iPhones except the SE have only had eSIM.

I would guess that most people with only one SIM go with eSIM if they phone supports it.

You can put a PIN on an eSIM, but is there really much point? My understanding is that the main point of a SIM PIN is so that someone cannot transfer your physical SIM to another phone.

Without a PIN someone could steal your phone and even if they could not get past the phone lock they could just move the physical SIM to their phone and thus take over your phone number. They don't even need to steal your phone--they just need access to it for a few seconds to remove the SIM.

That's not the case with eSIM.

You might want a PIN to keep others from making/receiving calls if they have access to your unlocked phone, but because SIMs permanently lock after 3 failed unlock attempts (with no timeout--a mistake today, another a year from now, and another two years after that and it locks) that's probably asking for trouble.


The physical-sim tray is present for all markets outside of the US on all iPhones.

And when it doesn't work... well, bacteria die all the time. Humans are less tolerant of random death.

Actually... it looks like they may have just added somethign similar in iOS 18.1. It's based on the phone not being unlocked, though, not network activity.

... and their 13th/14th generation processors had serious problems with overvoltage-induced failures - they clearly needed to step back and focus on reliability over performance.


This is more about implanted defibrillators than AEDs. In implanted devices, the size of the battery absolutely does matter.

And it's a law which was crafted with the intent that it apply to a small number of specific companies. How Apple is supposed to comply is hardly an unexpected question.
