No and it gets left in full view in the pub along with the ipad that also uses a 10 digit code.

And also my sims in iphone and ipad are sim pin protected so cannot be removed and used in any other device.

I suppose coming from south london we always had to protect things but rural south somerset things are a bit safer.

This is if a user does not use any pass code or finger print id. And rely on a thief or user not being able to use their iPhone due to the activation lock.

Unfortunately this work around is something we didn't want to see.

I've fed this back to apple as I'm sure many others have too.

Don't they test these things first

Yes they have their in house people and beta testers but as with most things some slip through.

I expect to see some form of iOS patch pretty soon hopefully.

I fully support having as much encryption and passwords as you can.

I also have something called app locker which means another password is needed to access my apps even if someone got through the first line of defence.

I still wouldn't leave my iPhone out on display.

Even if they can't break the codes they can still sell them on for parts.

No amount of testing will ever get rid of every single flaw or issue.

It is only when it is distributed to everyone when these come to light.

Thanks for letting us know Bob.
