The last word in iPhone security
If you are the type of person who constantly worries about possible iPhone security holes I have the ultimate solution for you. In the new 2.1 firmware update there is a new feature that all but ensures that your information is only viewed by people you want to see that information. There is now an option that allows you to completely wipe all of the data on your iPhone after 10 failed attempts at inputting your password.
To enable this nifty new function go to Settings, General, Passcode. You will see anew option at the bottom of the screen that says “Erase Data”. If you toggle the erase data setting to on your iPhone will completely wipe all of the data after 10 failed passcode attempts. Personally this is a bit too Mission Impossible for my liking but some people may have use for such extreme measures. Just be careful that you aren’t the type of person who routinely leaves their phone lying around or you risk having your data wiped by a noisy little brother.
