A leaked video reportedly shows that police have found a way to get past locked iPhones, specifically by bypassing Apple's automatic reboot security feature that’s meant to block access after inactivity. The details first surfaced on 404 Media’s podcast, citing journalist Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai. Apple hasn’t commented, and it’s unclear how widely this technique is being used, but the leak indicates that iPhones might be less secure against law enforcement than users expect.
