Securing a travel iPhone
As someone in a country with a serious mugging problem and having lost an iPhone already, one of the biggest security flaws I see is being able to power it off without providing any authentication.<p>What is even the point of Find my Phone and all that if anyone can just instantly switch off all the tracking?? You can&#x27;t even ring your own number after that, and even law enforcement cannot look up the cell tower logs to see where it&#x27;s been.<p>There should be an option to require a passcode for power-off, and another option to periodically send Find my Phone tracking even when &quot;powered off,&quot; via any available network, until the battery dies.<p>EDIT: I agree they can just take out the SIM and we need to be able to force-power-off anyway.. but what can be done to increase the recoverability of these expensive items?
