With every new release of its iOS operating system, Apple introduces new security features that harden more and more the mobile devices produced by Cupertino. As direct consequence of that forensics becomes harder, particularly the acquisition phase. And this remained true also with the latest version, iOS9, which has been released in September 2015 and […]
