Read an article this morning about the Italian father who wanted Apple to unlock his dead son's iPhone 6. Here's what it says and I'd like to know how Cellebrite could do this without unlocking the phone:
"Speaking toCNN Money, Fabbretti spoke to Cellebrite on Thursday, with promising news provided on Friday. "They were able to download the directories with the iPhone's content, but there is still work to be done in order to access the files, Fabbretti told the report, before claiming the forensic team felt good about its chance success."
Does this mean you can simply connect an iPhone to a computer and mount it like a disk? I know this used to be the case but I thought you still needed to enter a passcode to mount it. Of course, I don't believe you can mount the secure enclave so there's no way to get to the encryption keys and a brute force attack will take forever to try and decrypt the iPhone.
