Great suggestion, but don't forget, the iPhone has to be locked**, have a WiFi Connection to the internet as well as being plugged in and powered on.

**In most cases the phone will auto lock after a set period of time, I believe the default is 4 minutes. That can be changed in Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock or the iPhone can be locked manually by pressing the Sleep/Wake button on the upper right hand side of the iPhone.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
