    Even if they manage to keep the phone unlocked, and even if they manage to get to a safe spot before I am able to lock the device remotely, they still can’t access any banking applications because they require the PIN/biometrics to get in, even on an unlocked phone.

      do you know how to use Tor? if so, I can point you towards some tutorials on how to steal data from banking apps on an unlocked phone. best of all, it can be done in a matter of seconds.

      this is why the feature to wipe stolen devices remotely exists on both Android and iOS devices.

        Anything is possible with enough time. Which is why you force log-off all your apps and remote-wipe the device if your phone gets stolen.
