Hi Giulio,


Thanks for your reply but that is not an option on my phone. I’m definitely using a folio style case and I’ve got an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.4.1.


It has an ‘auto-lock’ option under the Disply & Brightness settings but that only sets a time period of inactivity before locking. There is no option for locking phone when case is closed.


Regards,


woy

Hi woy,

I think you're right.

Unfortunatly I do not own an iPhone 13, so I never got the problem, and I probably gave you incorrect information.

But googling around, I found this interesting article from a folio style cases maker: ->https://torro.co.uk/blogs/tech-news-rumours/why-doesnt-my-iphone-12-pro-auto-lock

From that article, it appears that the screens of the iPhone 12 or 13 models do not have the appropriate sensors to enable the lock / unlock option .

The only thing I can advise you, is to ask Apple Support directly if this information is correct (actually looking on the Apple website, I can't find any folio cases for these models).

Sorry about that.

Best regards

Giulio
