The tweet said there was a broken off charging plug still in the phone. Maybe that kept it unlocked?


Unlikely, as plugging in a charger cable without electrical power has no effects on an iPhone.


a ripped cable might sort pins which might confused that logic. it's probably in connected mode but showing something like insufficient amps.

simpler explanation, it's 2023 apple code...


Some of us intentionally disable autolock - I know I have it off because I can’t stand the screen automatically turning off on me when I’m using it for reference material.


Can't you set it to only auto-lock when not on your person, near you or at place X, Y or Z? Seems there are so many options for targets to keep it unlocked (smartwatch, a place, movement, WiFi, ...) that disabling it seems unnecessary?
