GrayKey Is Said to Sidestep iPhone’s Inactivity Reboot

TECHNOLOGY & SOFTWARENEEDS REVIEWUpdated:

According to a report based on a leaked video, Magnet Forensics says its GrayKey tools can work around an iPhone feature that automatically reboots a phone after 72 hours without being unlocked. The feature is described as putting the device into a state that is harder for police forensic tools to access.

GrayKey Is Said to Sidestep iPhone’s Inactivity Reboot

Keeping the phone in a state more accessible to forensic tools

The reported workaround is intended to preserve an iPhone in a state that lets investigators access it more easily rather than allowing the inactivity reboot to occur. The report says Magnet has a device called GrayKey Preserve and an Evidence Preservation Mode for regular GrayKey devices. The reported capability remains unverified.
