tl;dr: Almost everything on your iPhone is encrypted by your file system key, which is erased when you do a reset and "renders all files cryptographically inaccessible". |
Thank you good sir. My memory sucks too much to remember, but I think some guy blackmailed the gov't or media once (or something thereof) and thought he was in clear when he erased his hard drive, but the government/CIA managed to get the data off the hard drive (since only the address pointers were deleted; not the memory) and managed to get his personal info including his tax returns. Pretty funny.
