DriveSavers is known for its data recovery services, and today the company announced what it claims to be the first iPhone “passcode lockout recovery service” for consumers.
GrayKey made headlines this year as a $15,000-$30,000 device that allowed law enforcement agencies and other organizations that could afford it to get past the iPhone’s passcode security.
However, it seems Apple patched the flaw that allowed GrayKey to make unlimited passcode attempts last month as reports from law enforcement officials said the device was no longer working.
Now, data recovery specialist, DriveSavers, says that it has a guaranteed way to get past passcodes of “any length” on iPhone and other devices, and it’s designed for consumers.
While it may be possible DriveSavers found a way around passcodes in iOS, Apple could render this service useless with a software update. In any case, DriveSavers is confident it can recover your data in the event you’ve locked yourself out of your iPhone or other device.
DriveSavers doesn’t mention price on its website, so while it will likely cost much less than the $15,000 starting price of GrayKey, it will no doubt still be expensive.
This is meant for the owner of a device or next of kin, and the company says it goes through a legal process to check into ownership:
