Thanks. I was going to post something to get an unbiased account of what exactly is of issue. Today on the news it was pointed out that the phone can be set to erase itself after three botched tries at the password. Are we back to the issue of whether erased flash memory can be recovered or not?

I'm still not completely getting it. I thought that if you could prove you were the owner of the phone and did not set it to erase Apple could already get into it for you, just like if you lost your password for an iPad.
