Are you ever worried of loosing you iPhone or any other personal electronic device for that matter? Never mind loosing your expensive smartphone, nowadays people store personal information that can be valued more than what the iPhone is even worth. Come check out what security feature these guys suggest the next iPhone 5 should offer.

If you own a smartphone, you usually fall into one of two categories when it comes to securing your device.

1) You don’t care to much about putting a passcode on your device, for whatever reason. Maybe, your too lazy to unlock your phone every time you want to see an update on your FaceBook page?

Or,

2) You religiously keep your smartphone on lock down with a password all the time. Just in case you loose your phone, you know your secure from someone finding/stealing it and snooping around to see what information they can find.

The iPhone and other smartphones even offer additional security features that will allow you to erase all of your data remotely, or even after a certain amount off failed passcode attempts. In the iPhone’s case, you get up to 10 failed attempts and then you loose all data on the phone. This will usually wipe your smartphone to factory settings.



But what if you don’t even want the person to be able to reactive and use your lost iPhone? This is were the Siri concept comes into play!

If those current security measures aren’t up to your standards and you're the real paranoid type, you might be interested in checking out the video below. With these type of security features you would take things to a whole new level by making sure no one will ever be able to retrieve your personal information, let alone use the phone again.

The concept video was created by AatmaStudio and is titled: “Siri Hidden feature on New iPhone 5.

The concept video shows what is supposed to be the new unreleased Apple iPhone 5. This sexy “Apple” device, has a little trick up its sleeve. Siri would be used to self district your iPhone if too many failed passcode attempts have been made, rendering the device useless. This type of security seems to be something you would expect out of the next James Bond movie.



The somewhat funny concept video starts out by saying:

“Ever lost your iPhone?
Is remote wipe not enough?

If you can’t have the iPhone no one Can.

Siri Concept Feature on the new iPhone

Then you see the iPhone 5 concept appear on a desk. Someone starts entering one, two, many failed passcode attempts. After a few unsuccessful attempts at cracking the passcode, Siri turns on and says:

“Incorrect password.
I’m now going to disable the iPhone.
Goodbye.

A good second after Siri stops talking, the iPhone’s screen bursts and the iPhone then turns off.


Check out the iPhone 5 concept using Siri’s hidden security feature, in the video below:



Now don’t expect this Siri security feature to come out on the next iPhone 5, after all it is a concept video. But we are interested in your thoughts on these type of security measures. In a world where we are depending more and more on mobile devices, this might be something we all will expect in the near future.

Is this something you would be interested in seeing on your next smartphone? If someone found your phone, would you be ok with them reactivating the phone for their own use? Do you think these type of security features would ever come out to the public? Leave us your thoughts below.
