Dear
colleagues,
I am seeking advice/guidance/contemporary resources for tackling the
preservation of iphone text messages. I have been tasked with guiding a donor
on extracting a message history that goes back to 2011. We will not be
receiving the phone as part of the acquisition. It seems that commercial text
extraction software might be the only solution so I would welcome any
recommendations for trustworthy companies that you have used or know about. I
have already consulted the following:
