shfr26 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Mine were off since last year and still had id, so I am going to say until you reset it or until you have a major issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 A reset does not change the Unit ID (everthing else is cleared except the Unit ID)... As far as retention, as I recall from the microprocessors specfication it should be 20 years.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly like it when they say things like non-volatile RAM will last for 200 years or whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyfunk Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The iphone will be long gone by then. Android will be taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
