I have around 250 notes, some with voice notes pasted in.

The space used? 38.3 MB.

I doubt OP’s notes were much over 1-200 MB.

Whether Apple needs to say anything depends on who you want to believe. Who here is more credible: A multi billion dollar company who had the FBI sue them to get into an iPhone owned by domestic terrorists and they still told the FBI to go pound sand, or a police department on another continent with unknown technical skill who has an agenda on account of being extremely pressured by the public to turn up some leads on the death of a famous actress, when they could’ve more easily pulled that data from other sources?

No, it isn't.

She maye have been phished but someone claiming to be Apple. It’s a common thing for iPhone thefts.

Thank you, have rebooted it, now it works as expected.

Hackers right now…

“Wait, how is Apple brute forcing passcodes on iOS devices?…”. (Keyboard sounds intensify).

Well his 30 days of backups shows 1000 notes - so perhaps he had tons of screenshots or other attachments and it showed up as one of the biggest apps to purge for space savings. If he had years of notes that could eat up a lot of space… sucks it’s gone though.

OP did you ever make ANY kind of local backups like with iTunes, imazing, or other usb backup utilities? You could probably find a way to recovery the notes db from that backup….

Planned obsolescence comment is on point. I’m also sticking with my phone until the rest of its hardware actually breaks. It keeps up with anything not absurdly processing intensive, so I see no reason to replace it lol Hopefully with a bit of luck your phone will last a couple more years, by then an upgrade to an SE or something won’t be too expensive anymore

I was thinking otter box but I never used one before and didn’t wanna spend like 40 bucks on it if it wasn’t as good as people say

Username checks out.

OtterBox Defender and a screen protector maybe?

But we’re not talking about handing over user iCloud data here. We’re talking about brute forcing open a iPhone passcode (user encryption key) by Apple officials. Or worse, yet, a master encryption key held only by Apple. The article states, “Apple officials unlock iPhone”.

Even US federal official several years ago, could not brute force an iPhone, and infamously asked Apple for help. Apple refused.

However, we aren’t talking about handing over iCloud data here. The article specifically stated that “Apple officials unlocked her iPhone device“.

The iPhone pass code is the encryption key to the entire device. Only the end-user is supposed to be able to input and know it. iPhones are notoriously hard to brute force with pass code guessers. Almost damn near impossible. Even US federal officials asked Apple for help several years ago, and Apple infamously refused.

However, if this article is true, it implies that there is a back door to iOS devices. Hackers will be all over this shit, if true.

It's the original battery, since i bought it.

All the rest of components seems to be OK.

I don't want a new phone while the atual still gets updates for my usual apps.

You can downvote me a lot, but i'm not the only poor iphone user who don't spend personal wages regularly to feed planned obsolescence and consumerism.

I appreciate your comment. But I’d like to clarify that this article stated that Apple officials “unlocked her phone“. It stated nothing about handing over iCloud data. Huge difference.

I think this raises the question amongst many security analysts, “how“ is Apple brute forcing an iPhone pass code? This is supposed to be the encryption key to the entire device. Without it, everything behind the encryption is just gibberish. Does Apple have a master encryption key? Can the phone actually be brute forced.

Several years ago we were led to believe that federal officials could not even brute force iPhones, and even asked Apple for help, when Apple infamously refused.

I think the big question here is, what’s really going on?

It went right past me that this was not in the US.

outside the US — legal guidelines

Did you go to your boyfriend iMessage thread, click on his name and scroll down to the options, you’ll see “read receipts” turn it on and off, or off if it’s on.

So beyond system wide settings, this is the per contact settings.

Check his phone as well

Weird. It must be a bad batch of cases because even the newest replacement has stress marks on every corner… don’t like it

Okay, thank you! I’ll try that one. If it fits the MagicMount ball socket and is really that strong, we may have a winner!

Op posts problem. People give suggestions. Op never responds. Typical. Lmao

All good replies here👍🏻. But the article did technically state that Apple officials “unlocked her phone”. Mentioned nothing about handing over iCloud data. These are two different things in their entirety.

You raise some valid points. But in either case, doesn’t this put Apple Inc. in a predicament that somebody from Apple corporate would need to come out and clarify some things?

This probably has a lot of security analysts around the world, saying, “wait, hold on a minute.!”

1. You can’t always believe what law enforcement states publicly. It could be a ruse to make potential suspects nervous. It could also be the person putting out that info is misinformed about how the data was obtained.
2. The device could have had an easy to guess passcode. Or the iOS version was out of date and a zero-day exploit was used to get in. In which case it’s unlikely Apple was the one doing the unlocking (see #1).
3. Apple CAN access iCloud data backups and provide that to law enforcement if they follow legal procedures (unless Advanced data protection is activated… and that feature isn’t even available yet in india where OP is based). iCloud backups can contain photos, documents, data that apps have stored, e-mails, and copies of text messages.
4. Some info, like broad location data, call logs and (possibly) any cached, non-iMessage SMS texts, can be obtained by the cellular network provider, and Apple has no say in that (again, see #1)

My question: I don’t know anything about this case, but, unless the victim’s mother and sister are also missing, why didn’t they just get copies of those chats and logs from the mother and sister’s phones?

Edit: she committed suicide, and the mother apparently claims her co-star on the show she was working on aided in the suicide. Which only further reinforces my question here. It seems like the police claim to have broken into an iPhone to obtain data they could’ve more easily gotten elsewhere, which seems awful fishy.

Wiping is not the same as accessing information in a locked phone

It’s also not (yet) available in India, where OP’s post is taking place.
