Old Broken iPhone: Flash Memory?

[Podile]

Hello,

I have an old busted iPhone 3 (in addition to my iPhone 5, don't get me wrong ;-) ) It's been long out of service, but I had some photos on it.

In a campfire related accident, it sustained some pretty bad damage. I disassembled it and noted that everything on one side is charred, but the side with the flash memory is not. The phone itself is certainly not functional.

Question 1: How sensitive to extreme heat would a flash memory card be?
Question 2: Is this a lost cause, or could I potentially remove the flash memory and have data taken off it? I have read that flash memory can only be used on the phone it originated with.

Thanks!

Hmm. My fault, I believe this is in the wrong forum. More of a tech issue.

You are talking about surface mounted devices with encrypted data. Unless you have pictures of Hillary naked or something it's not worth the effort.

I don't know about the hillary pics comment. Who would want to see those nudes?
Op throw the rest of what's left of the phone in the fire. You'd be fine.

Is the data encrypted only by way of lock-screen pin? (I didn't have a PIN lock) Or is it encrypted to the unique logic board?

(if it were Hillary pics I would throw it in the fire indeed!)

iPhone 3GS by the way.
