Worried About Data Privacy at iPhone Repair Shops: Has Anyone Had Their Photos Accessed?
Hey everyone,
I’m in a bit of a dilemma and would really appreciate some advice. I have both an iPhone 14 Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max that have display and motherboard issues. I’ve been really hesitant about taking them to a random iPhone repair shop because I’ve heard some horror stories about them extracting personal info <especially photos> while working on the phone. My biggest concern is: if I don’t give them my passcode, is it still possible for them to access my photos or data, even if I’ve deleted them? Has anyone else gone through this or experienced something similar? I really want to fix the phones but don’t want to risk my privacy
so any advice or tips would help a ton. Thanks in advance!
