I assume this after 10 consecutive failed attempts?

Don't think it's 'consecutive'. Think it's simply just a total of 10 failed attempts.
Slight difference of opinion
I agree with the 10 consecutive attempts, it's common sense and usual practice with his types of systems.
10 attempts before erasing the data is also logical. The last thing you want is to lose everything because a child playing with your iDevice accidentally locked the screen and start typing numbers. By the way, I can't understand why it's not sufficient and where does the 1:16 chance coming from when there are 9999 combinations.
I question the need for this utility however when the device can be disabled after many attempts.
Happy to be enlightened on any of the above.
