Grant, Perhaps terminology aside not, but, one thing for sure, simply opting to do the 5 consecutive presses, which is an unofficial, not supported and not recommended, let alone unrecognised procedure, offers no warning to the iOS platform that its coming.
Whereas the 12 second method, which is supported, recognised, and accepted by Apple, and indeed supposed to be used. This will have been anticipate by Apple Engineers and as such, when the key cominvation is pressed, the iOS will in the bak ground stop doing anything which is sensitive to data integrity.
