I’m also curious whether the copying device works with all models. If I went back to my old iPhone 3, for example, would they still be able to snag a copy? Might their surveillance be foiled by want of a dongle?
Edit— From the photos posted further down thread it seems like they’re armed with every imaginable dongle...
The mid-level consumer tech I have access to takes a most of a work day to copy my wife's 80GB of iphone 7+ data to a flash drive.
Based on this, I doubt they have some sort of magic thing that will just copy everything on your phone as you pass through a checkpoint.
Do they hold you until the copy is done?
Or do they have some super fast thing that works on every device?
Honestly curious.
