The question was never how iOS works because we know how iOS works.
The question was why.
If people claim to understand how iOS works, they wouldn't argue like Chris
and Tyrone did that iOS can't possibly work any other way than the way they
mis-remember it to work. Seriously.
Both have claimed they never remembered how iOS works since plenty of
others in this thread have accurately remembered how it works.
The question was never how it works, but why it works the way it works.
Only iOS does this.
Nobody else.
Just iOS.
Not Linux. Not Windows. Not Android. Not even macOS.
iOS uses separate authentication tokens for services like iCloud, iMessage,
FaceTime, the App Store, and device activation. Most of these tokens can
refresh silently for a while, but some eventually require your Apple ID
password to re-establish trust with Apple's servers.

etc.
If you repeatedly refuse to enter the password, more and more tokens expire
without being renewed, and the device gradually loses the ability to verify
its status with Apple. Once the activation token can no longer be
refreshed, the device is treated as unverified, and it will eventually fall
into Activation Lock because Apple can no longer confirm that the device is
associated with a valid, authenticated Apple ID.
Ask me how I know this:
The question was never how iOS works as everyone knows how it works.
The question for intelligent adults is why it works the way it does.
