according to fast technology on september 23, recently, an iphone that had been locked for ten years was unlocked and became a hot topic. after seeing it, many netizens expressed their admiration that a ten-year-old phone was so simple.

a netizen said that his iphone 4s, which had been locked for ten years, was successfully unlocked after the deactivation period expired.

apple customer service said that the time limit is usually imposed because the phone is locked due to an incorrectly entered lock screen password. in the past, it was indeed possible for the phone to be deactivated for ten years due to an incorrectly entered password, but now the time has been shortened and customers will not have to wait that long.

the customer service staff said that regardless of whether the deactivation time has expired, users can use their apple id to erase the phone data to unlock it; if they want to keep the data information in the phone, they can only wait until the deactivation time expires and enter the correct lock screen password.

however, more netizens are also concerned about the authenticity of the news. some people have personally tested that the iphone is locked for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, and so on. they found a pattern by analogy as shown in figure 5. if it is really locked for ten years, then the last time was at least more than a year ago. who would really calculate the time and enter the wrong password for more than two months, and then enter the wrong password for more than a year?
