Our phones have become our miniature handheld brains. Your data is stored on the NAND as gibberish-it's encrypted. It isn't a huge deal to desolder the NAND chip and there are many inexpensive NAND readers out there that you can plug the chip into and read it. The NAND acts like the hard drive of the phone and contains all of the user data. We all know that there must be some sort of memory chip on the iPhone, and indeed there is! The flash memory storage chip, or NAND chip, is about the size of your thumbnail.
If only it were that easy! The sad answer to 'Can we just read the data from the memory chip?' Is Yes, but.it's gibberish. Many of our incoming requests ask us to fix their phone if we can, but if not possible then *JUST* get the data.
What does it take to recover iPhone data?Ĭan you just read the data from the memory chip?
