Can people access my iphone data by opening it up

Ask Different Asked by angry kiwi on February 24, 2021

My iphone is faceid and pin protected. My apple id is two step authentication on.

It’s not working now, so I sent it to a repair man to fix. However, If he opens up the phone, and takes out the storage chip. Can he use that storage on another phone of his ?

Highly unlikely, unless the repair man:

  • Sent your device to Cellbrite
  • Has access to a GrayKey box
  • Knows your passcode

Given the intertwined relationship between the iPhone's storage, baseband, Secure Enclave etc. (refer to Jash's answer), hypothetically speaking the repair man has a better chance at extracting your data if he left the storage chip in its place.
