I just learned that you can set iPhone to run an automation (or any action) by tapping its back. I don’t know why, but this made me wonder if it’s possible to make a self-destruct button for a phone. I don’t program hardware so just wildly guessing here, but maybe it is possible to set it on some kind of loop that causes it to overheat? I imagine there are lots of safeguards against that, but also imagine people have figured out ways around them.
