    Speculation is that ios 18 is communicating with other phones while locked to determine security. This can more likely be a NSA/US empire backdoor than a user protection feature. Lowly police systems are just not on the “hacker list”. One way the backdoor could work is that if a “NSA/Mossad list phone” is present, protect the other phones, unless the phones are in an NSA/Mossad secure facility.

      Or it could just be using the inactivity reboot feature that was recently added to iOS.

        ok. I’d suspect spy agency back doors if the feature was unannounced. If it was an announced feature, then that is reasonable explanation.

          It’s literally a documented feature AND it’s weird super secret spy agency shit is the easiest answer for you tbh.
