Mystery Surrounds Rebooting iPhones in Forensic Analysis: Was it Intentional or a Glitch?
Multiple iPhone units sent for forensic analysis have reportedly rebooted themselves, causing concerns among law enforcement officials. The affected devices were all running iOS 18.0 and had been disconnected from cellular networks for some time. Officials suspect that the restarts may be due to changes in the iOS 18 update, potentially caused by a signal sent between nearby iPhone units. Rebooting iPhones pose a problem for forensic analysis as data on the device becomes more secure after a restart.
