I get these two screens, and then I'm fucked.
I mean stuck. And then I'm stuck. And fucked.
Until I get back to civilization.
@mwichary@mastodon.online and @gruber@mastodon.social will love that second screenshot.

@mwichary@mastodon.online @gruber@mastodon.social It turns out this was that Stolen Device Protection thing @mjtsai@mastodon.social likes to complain about and that I was silently opted in to. The thing is, iOS 26.4.2 came out April 22, and I updated THAT DAY. I got the "Your phone has been updated" flow when I installed it. Why, then, when I reboot on May 5, does it give me the “Your phone has been updated” flow? A full 2 weeks later? Does the phone not actually restart after an update? If I had been camping or something I would have been completely without recourse. I should be able to reboot my phone and still have a working phone. This was borderline unconscionable. 😡
