Cops Can Bypass iPhone's Automatic Reboot to Get into Locked Phones

A graykey tool has been discovered that allows law enforcement to bypass the iPhone's automatic reboot feature, giving them access to locked iPhones even when the device has been set to auto-reboot after an inactivity period. The tool was demonstrated to work on an iPhone 12 Pro, which automatically reboots after 60 minutes of inactivity. The graykey tool was shown to be able to access the iPhone's data after the reboot, allowing law enforcement to extract data from the device. The tool's functionality has not been publicly disclosed, but it is reportedly able to bypass the iPhone's Secure Enclave, which is designed to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
