Magnet Forensics

Leaked training material from Magnet Forensics, maker of the GrayKey phone unlocking tool, indicates law enforcement can bypass the iPhone's automatic reboot feature. The feature, introduced by Apple, was locking investigators out of devices by severing data connections after inactivity. The claim suggests police retain access to locked iPhones, raising fresh concerns about device security and surveillance capabilities.

GrayKey, the iPhone forensics tool made by Magnet Forensics, can reportedly get around Apple's 'Inactivity Reboot' security feature, which locks devices after a period of inactivity to hinder data extraction. The report raises fresh concerns about law enforcement access to encrypted iPhones and the durability of Apple's protections against phone-hacking tools.
