If this is indeed a security feature I'm about to buy my first iPhone.

CalyxOS and GrapheneOS have this as a feature.

Wouldn't this make your phone reboot all night while you're sleeping?

[–] VehicleTree@lemmy.ca 73 points 4 days ago

It will only reboot once unless it is unlocked again https://grapheneos.org/features#auto-reboot

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 27 points 4 days ago

Just set the time too longer than you would be asleep. So in this screenshot above you could set it to 18 hours and most people at least that I know do not go 18 hours without unlocking their phone at least one time which would then reset the timer.

Yes. Alternatively, you can just.. power it off.

I keep mine on in case of family emergencies, it's also my alarm clock

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The only solution would be to simply turn the setting off at night, or have developers add an automatic scheduling option. Of course, you can just set the timer to be longer than your sleep schedule as well, but then you miss out on security.

Iirc phone calls and alarms still work after a reboot in the lock status, it just disables biometric unlock and keeps the filesystem encrypted

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Well, funny thing--I was once late for a job because my alarm didn't go off. Guess why? Yep, auto reboot. There was even a notification saying the alarm didn't go off. Very odd behaviour, but that's what happened.

Presumably it doesn't reboot unless it was already unlocked.

You can adjust the time.
