'Experts have warned that the only way to completely delete data is to "destroy your phone".'
note that this does *not* apply to iphones and ipads.
What makes them different?
Note: I'm not arguing.
everything is encrypted.
when you reset an iphone, it discards the encryption key (which isn't the passcode) which means there no longer any way read the data.
you could try to crack that encryption, assuming you can image the device and have a *lot* of time on your hands. good luck on that. plan on a few thousand years, at a minimum.
So it's not completely deleted. It's merely very hard to recover.
if something takes millions of years (which it would with a good encryption key) then it's not recoverable.
even if you get lucky and it takes thousands of years, nobody is going to be around to care.
