""The phone's very cracked, so, at this point, the photos contained in it are more valuable than the ability to use the phone itself. They're the main data that I care about and haven't backed up.""
""I don't anticipate a bespoke solution being provided, but I'm hopeful that the issue will be resolved in the next iOS update.""
""Post-update, when entering the passcode, the keyboard now displays an identical accent mark in the háček's place, a feature Byrne described as 'pointless; they're encoded the same.'""
A university student, Connor Byrne, is unable to access his iPhone 13 after updating to iOS 26.4, which removed the caron/háček character from the keyboard. This character was essential for his alphanumeric passcode. Byrne has not backed up his important photos, and Apple support has suggested restoring the device, which would erase his files. He hoped the next update would fix the issue, but it did not. The phone's cracked condition makes the photos more valuable than the device itself.
