Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

Most implementations have a way to kill off the Face ID authentication. On modern iPhones you can spam the power button 5 times and Face ID is disabled. If you want a “cold boot” situation which is much harder to get into, just press and hold volume down and power for 10 seconds to hard reboot it.
