That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought about the trade-offs between official methods and third-party software in that way. You mentioned that the success rate for recovery tools can be inconsistent on modern iPhones because of encryption, and that makes a lot of sense.
Can you explain a bit more about that? I’m curious to learn why encryption makes it so much harder to find traces of deleted files. Is it that the data is completely unreadable once deleted, or just scattered in a way that’s difficult to piece back together? Thanks for breaking it down
