6s plus in bits. Which part is the memory storage so I can destroy it please?

My 6s plus has finally died. (RIP) I had to dismantle it entirely as the battery was swollen and the adhesive tabs broke trying to remove them. Battery being safely disposed of still attached to a now ripped apart phone.

I didn’t get to wipe any information on it before this happened. It just stopped charging and the side of the phone opened itself up (possibly after dropping, I’m not sure as the case hid it) Yes, I was indeed still trying to charge the phone in this condition as I didn’t know! How we didn’t blow up is anyone’s guess.

For those that can identify it, please can you tell me which part I need to hit with a hammer to make data irretrievable?

Thank you.

Unlikely doesn’t mean impossible. I’m doing what people who are in the field recommend doing.
If you don’t know the answer to the question, that is ok. If you think it’s ridiculous, that is ok.
Just move on, the post wasn’t for you.

iOS 13.0 iPhone 6s. Update, or no?

I have two iPhone 6s models. Both the gold color.
One of them has 32 GB on iOS 13.O
The second one has 64 GB on iOS 13.6

I’m conflicted on which one I should update if I should update any of them. The only thing I’ve really done is offload music onto the 32 GB model, using 3UTools.

I did recently refurbished the 32 GB model with an OEM pull screen in mint condition, and an xcap battery. Replaced water seal.

I have to do the exact same set of repairs for the 64 GB model.

I definitely think that the 64 GB model will probably become my daily driver.

I would definitely appreciate jailbreaking. I have access to my 14” M2 Pro MacBook Pro. So the checkra1n jailbreak is probably in my future.

What would you do in the situation where you had one phone on an earlier release of iOS 13 and one phone on a later release of iOS 13? Would you keep them both on iOS 13 or would you update one of them?

I know that one of those phones would immediately lose a significant sum of value because I would presume that a firmware this old would be sought after on marketplaces like eBay.

I need advice!!

So my iphone 6s has been working really bad for the last couple days, first it was slow when the battery was less than 30%, now when the battery is less than 70% it just goes down to zero inmmediately. Today we found out that the battery was swollen, and i have to change it, my question is... is it worth changing the battery of a phone that already has like 8 years of use? the repair shop warned me that they could changed it, vut they would not guarantee that would make it work like before, or it could last a month and break again :/
