iPod and iPhone Forensics
iPod and iPhone Forensics refers to the recovery of digital
evidence from a iPod and iPhone under forensically sound
conditions using accepted methods
It includes recovery and analysis of data
It helps in tracing and prosecuting criminals where iPod and
iPhones are used as a mean for committing the crime
It also helps in other criminal cases to extract contact details
