According to the The Intercept, In addition to the usual way, there is an “unofficial” way to ensure that the data on the iPhone cannot be restored. However, doing so would mean damaging the device. The official way to wipe iPhone The encryption key is where your iPhone/iPad uses to decrypt information, so removing this key leaves all your data permanently encrypted and therefore inaccessible. The first thing you’ll need is a working iPhone/iPad that you can navigate using the touchscreen or connect to a computer. Before selling, giving or transferring iPhone, users should wipe old personal data. Photo: iMore. The easiest way is to do the following steps: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings . If your device for some reason cannot access Setting , you can try the second way by connecting them to your laptop or desktop and restore them through a third device. If the above two methods still don’t work, try putting the device into Recovery Mode , iPhone/iPad will return to factory settings and erase all your data. Alternatively, if your device won’t even turn on, use Force Restart according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then follow one of the methods outlined above. The most thorough way to delete data If you have tried all the steps above and your device still won’t turn on or can’t connect to the computer, the best way is to destroy the memory chip, which contains all user data. The flash memory chip (yellow border below) is in the same black board and controller chip. Photo: The Intercept. In ‘s post The Intercept , the author used iPad 6 as an example of how to destroy memory chips. However, regardless of model, the general procedure is the same: remove the iPhone/iPad screen, find the board, and destroy the memory chip. To get the memory chip, you must disassemble your iPad. First, find a way to remove the iPad’s touch screen so you can look at the internal components. There are specialized tools on the market to remove the panel, but if such tools are not available, you can heat around the edge of the screen, to melt the adhesive, then use a flat object and gently pry the monitor up. After removing the screen, you’ll find the iPad’s battery with a metal shell on the side that houses the iPad’s logic board and memory chip. Remove all securing screws and connection cables, and remove the board cover. Use the drill to destroy the memory chip. Photo: The Intercept. After removing the cover, you will see the memory chip is silver and located in a metal shell, next to the logic board and the black processor chip. Now all you have to do is take out the flash chip and destroy it. The suggestion from the article is to use a drill and drill through the memory chip until the device breaks. The author of the article recommends that you ensure safety issues before starting to destroy the aforementioned chip. The above method is also used by many hackers around the world to delete evidence. Catfish, the owner of Chicken Drumstick, the biggest game cheat ever, recounted smashing his memory chips one by one to erase the crime. Once discovered, Catfish quickly shut down the servers running the cheat software, and hammered out all the hard drives that might still contain cheat-related data. “I panicked so much that I smashed every chip I saw in the SSD. Then I dumped it all a few miles away,” Catfish said.

This update not only brings new features, but also fixes a series of security bugs on iPhone to prevent hackers from taking over the device. Many iPhone users have complained about battery drain and overheating issues after updating to iOS 14.6.

In addition, the iPhone 12 Pro Max also got hotter, so much so that I felt I see it when I have my phone in my pocket,” said one user on the iPhone in Canada forum. (Photo: NewsBeezer) Another person also said that the iPhone must be plugged in continuously after updating to the recently released iOS 14.6 version. Besides excessive battery drain, users also reported overheating issues even when the iPhone was in standby mode for several hours. Many people are also worried that poor battery performance can reduce the health of their iPhone battery. (Photo: OS X Daily) According to ZDNET, battery life drops after each update is a common occurrence, because the iPhone has to perform some important management tasks, so the first days after installation will appear this situation. . However, if this situation persists, it is possible that the iPhone or the software has encountered a problem. On the Apple support forum, some users have fixed the battery drain issue on their iPhone by deleting the Podcasts app. Some users have fixed the battery drain issue on their iPhone by deleting the Podcasts app. (Photo: Primakov / Shutterstock) Accordingly, after accessing Setting > The battery and looked at the Battery Usage statistics by app, these people found Podcasts to be the culprit that drains a lot of battery on iPhone. After deleting this app, the battery life has improved markedly. If the battery life on your iPhone is experiencing the same problem after updating to iOS 14.6, try the above method to see if the battery life on your iPhone has improved or not.

This means that users should update their iPhone immediately, even if their device is running smoothly.

Apple’s support document says the update addresses a number of security vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on a device. In a sharing with Forbes, security expert Sean Wright said the security flaws – which have been resolved in the latest iOS update – are “pretty bad to get.” (Artwork: NewsBeezer) While there is no indication that any of the security vulnerabilities Apple lists have been actively exploited, iPhone/iPad users should update their devices as soon as possible. Apple notes that some of the vulnerabilities were discovered by security researchers working for Trend Micro, a multinational cybersecurity company.
