“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said. At that time, the iPhone displayed a message saying it would unlock in 80,000 hours.
This usually happens when you hand your phone to your toddler.
But don’t you have to first wait minutes, then hours, then days etc. before you finally get to 10 years? That’s some dedixated toddler
Have you ever met a toddler? Try doing peekaboo 4 times with a 3-year-old and then tell them you’re bored. Unless you’re willing to deal with screams for 16 hours, you’re only about 996 peekaboos away from a satisfied toddler.
Locking an iphone for only 10 years sounds like a toddler with a short attention span.
I don’t understand.
“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.
So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can’t override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?
On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.
I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android. JFC.
I get rate limiting the amount of passwors that can be tried (especially when they have a pre-defined limit of 4 or 6 numbers), but going over hours or days between attempts is a bit extreme
