The key is not the model of the phone, but the version of the operating system. If it is iOS 8 or later, they are out of luck.

Not so much.

WOW! You found another guy who believes in MAGIC. DiogenesLamp, you cannot load anything on an iPhone until you OPEN it. There is no way to do it. That means you have to enter the PASSCODE to install the software. Otherwise the phone is not RUNNING! That means you have to break into it first to get his special software on it. SHEESH! Not possible.

If you try to load it with the boot loader, the iPhone will ERASE ITSELF!

So obviously the thing to do would be to break open the phone and secure the solid state chip.
Then maybe somehow bypass the startup sequence for the chip and go directly to read?

That’s what I would do. Or try to do as my last resort.

Technically it will erase the decryption key which the same as erasing the data since the decryption cannot be brute forced.
