However, Apple definitely caught the attention of this little workaround and managed to close the loophole with the official release of iOS 10.1.1, but security researchers have managed to scale the security ladder once more. This made iOS freeze and, when combined with opening and closing of the iPad’s Smart Cover, gave Joseph access to the device’s home screen. Way back in October, security researcher Hemanth Joseph was able to crack the Activation Lock on an iPad by entering extremely long strings of characters in all fields of the Wi-Fi setup. Researchers have managed to bypass the Activation Lock on the iPhone while it was running iOS 10.1.1, which is the latest software version from Apple for iPhones and iPads. However, now it seems that even the Activation Lock in Apple’s latest iOS version is not safe. It allows users to remotely lock their device and delete their sensitive data in case the iPhone or iPad is stolen or misplaced.
With Touch ID becoming fairly simple to use on your iPhones, the Activation Lock can be said to be used as a last resort security feature if your fingerprint isn’t being recognized due to some bug.
