This PIN can be easily guessed

Argh... wouldn't that make it brute force attacks more efficient? E.g. the suspect/victim is born on May 31st, his iPhone allows 10 PIN attempts. Your attack algorithm becomes:

1. Input "0531" on another iPhone's setup screen.

2. Try "0531" and the other suggested PINs, based on distance from thumb to the option.

Well, how is that any worse than the current situation? If you are 100% sure that the pin is based on the birthday, you probably already won
