IPhone Remotely Captive
Since June, I’ve been subject to some sort of privilege escalation exploit on my iPhone which has spread to my MacBook Air. Before I hear the usual “this can’t happen on an iPhone” or “why do you think that”, these are the steps I have taken:
-redownloaded ios via iTunes 15 times
-deleted my old iCloud
-spoken to support and a genius professional in excess of 20 times without success (it’s not a hardware issue- but I believe it is possible once someone has the regulatory information it will repeatedly happen - a simply google search will tell you that.)
Each time i reset the phone, after a week it is able to change settings, stop me from doing certain things, disconnect my Bluetooth or any wifi at will and more things than I can describe. For the sake of brevity, I’ve attached some evidence and hope someone may be able to provide guidance. The first video is me setting up automation to let me know whenever an app is open and screen time reflecting app usage of apps I don’t have.
Thank you.
Small piece of error log (please don’t say “logs are for devs”, I get it) that reflects a not real “exception” that occurred during sys_diagnose for the Feedback App.
