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.
