I think you're thinking of newer iPhones.
- jonknee 11y agoNo, all iOS devices have hardware keys. Newer devices have the Secure Enclave which is a separate chip that stores hardware ID and does the actual encrypting/decrypting.
- kabdib 11y agoSure, but if all of the state is on the NAND flash, you can nearly trivially bypass all the retry restrictions with a hardware-level snapshot. There's nothing on the SOC that's persistent. Boom, done, and the FBI is exposed as a pack of idjits. (Of course, this is not about the single phone, and never has been. But let's continue that fiction for the sake of argument).
