Blessed NoReboot, Who Pretends to Sleep
Patron of phones that look switched off and the paranoid who put them in the freezer anyway.
Life
In January 2022 ZecOps researchers showed how malware already on an iPhone could fake a shutdown: black screen, no sounds, no vibration, yet the phone alive and listening. Never given a CVE, he still awaits canonization, but his lesson stands: shut down does not mean off.
Prayer
O Blessed NoReboot, who feigns sleep while keeping watch, let our 'slide to power off' really power off. Amen.
How to celebrate
Celebrated by forcing a restart with the button combo, and looking at the switched-off phone with a vague suspicion.
A silent phone is not always a sleeping phone.
