As always, privacy takes intelligence.
People with no intelligence will never have privacy.
Just ask criminals who get caught because their red iPhone turned them in.

Context. We are talking of recovering data out of formatted and/or
erased hard disks. Not of privacy.
You have to learn how to position your post correctly in a thread so
that it hangs from the proper context, Arlen. Yes, I know that you use scripts that make this harder. Not my problem.

Point of order: he CLAIMS to use scripts.
The links he does provide never say what he claims they say.

Ah, well then, there it is. You're pretty good as I had not found
that! It's even the same model line as my free Samsung Galaxy phone!
I stand publicly & openly corrected (& slightly embarrassed about my
bias).
Looks like even alleged murderers can make a decent tech choice. (jk)
I'll revise my theory about dumb criminals using phones at all near
crimes.
Appreciate the correction. I'll accept these facts & recalibrate my
snobbery.

Speaking of bias, I wonder what the breakdown of phone ownership is
among the political spectrum.

There are dumb and smart people in every category imaginable. My guess
is most people just stay with the type of phone they learned first
unless there was a compelling to switch.

There's always three sides to the story -- his side, her side, and the
truth.

There's an (older) chart on page 12 showing iOS vs Android in
government: <https://www.businessofgovernment.org/sites/default/ files/Using%20Mobile%20Apps%20in%20Government.pdf>
Despite the bias Steve might have us believe, the DOD allows both
Android & iOS devices for employee personal device ownership as
described here. <https://dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0/Documents/ Library/UseOfNon-GovernmentOwnedMobileDevices.pdf>

I think there are fundamentally different types of people when it
comes to how well they respond to pure marketing bullshit, where
personally, I think Apple owners respond much better to marketing
hype than do Android owners.
But I could be wrong on that as I agree, most people are incredibly
stupid.

Well, to be very clear, I never stated what Kohlberger's phone was,
as I didn't have the sleuthing skills you had of finding out it out
for sure.
Truth be told, I was kind'a hopin' it would be a RED!!!!!!
iPhone. :)
But I did dig up more on why he first turned off his radios _before_ powering the phone down, and it turned out to be what I thought it
was.
Apparently even (seemingly) powered down, phones can respond to
pings from the outside world, including pings from the carrier's
cell towers.
This shows that we can learn about privacy from these criminals'
mistakes. An example is when I go into any store nowadays, I go on
airplane mode.
I don't power down the phone as I sometimes snap photos of prices
and/or products that I need to research later when I get home, but I
turn all the radios off so that the in-store trackers don't log my
every aisle.
