Only works if you slide to power off. You can shut down itch power option in sbsettings and numerous other methods. Needs more work.

I would much prefer a tweak where the Power button becomes useless unless the iPhones unlocked through the default Apple pass code protection.

Never put a password on your Idevice because how would someone connect to wifi so you can track them down incase they take you simcard out? Unless you have a simtray like at the apple store which has no eject hole!

But Pressing Home+Power buttons for a few seconds will power off & reboot the idevice. And can still jailbreak the idevice using this method, even if not following the proper steps for entering DFU mode. What's the use??

Its not that dumb of an extension, if your phone is stolen since they cant shut it down so easily that gives you more time to track your device from find my iphone.

You are right but I believe there is also an extension that could be used in collaboration that when the sim card is removed the last location and maybe more information can be sent to an email address or text to another device.
