This is a legit issue, and you can definitely expect it to be patched quite soon. Not sure how/why someone would think it wouldn't get patched.

Many, many enterprises bet their data on passcodes combined with the 10-guess wipe defense. You can bet that they've already called Apple many times about this.

It'll be patched very soon.




Enterprise can mandate complex pass codes, not the 4 digit pins. The 11 hour number will increase rapidly with complex codes. However I assume they will still want the wipe feature to actually work.
