Apple's new iPhone software has a security feature that reboots the phone if it remains unlocked for 72 hours.
The feature, known as 'inactivity reboot', locks the user's encryption keys in the iPhone's secure enclave chip, making it harder for thieves to access data.
Security researchers confirmed the 72-hour timer for the feature, which puts iPhones in a more secure state.
While this feature makes it challenging for law enforcement to access data, it doesn't completely lock them out within the three-day timeframe.
