Re: How secure is secure enough?

"My phone is fully encrypted and is secured by a 6-digit PIN and my fingerprints."
possibly. If I had your phone, take the sim to a vanilla iphone is it still secured? Just curious

you can kill people for America at age 18 but need to be 21 to buy a beer

Yep

You power cycle the phone and you'll need to enter the PIN before you can use Touch ID.

You'll also need to enter the Apple ID password the first time you try to use it (in the iTunes Store etc) after a power cycle, too.

The SIM doesn't participate in device security, although I could of course set a PIN on that too.

If you half inch the SIM then you can use my data, I guess. I have unlimited calls and texts.

Apple aren't a gatekeeper of anything here - you can take off your tinfoil hat. - (pwhysall) - (8) - Nov. 19, 2015, 08:22:36 AM EST
