Recent updates to mobile phone technology have changed the current playing field in terms of ensuring the most complete technology.

Important must read position paper from Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE) about the use of timely acquisition to preserve evidence. Mobile data has potential to degrade each day you wait to do an acquisition. #DFIR https://www.swgde.org/25-f-001/
