I don’t get it, frankly. Much of this type of data has been captured by the providers since not long after 9/11/2001. And believe me, the Feds can certainly access that by walking in to the provider with a warrant, which they do. Often.
They should already know exactly who he talked to and for how long. And any text messages are also captured.
I’m sure there’s something else encrypted here but what is it? (I don’t actually know - never had an iPhone).
Really? My phone knows exactly where I’ve been and keeps a very long history. Not just general area like a cell tower, but to within 3 meters. It has my browsing history even if I constantly flush it, it has the text of much of what I post, it has the messages I send, the pictures I take.
Which provider has that much detailed information, and why would you be with them still?
It is a toolkit for making up excuses for whatever warrants you want to make. Honesty, I’m beginning to think that wiping the phone to factory defaults once a week would be prudent. And the detail becomes more extensive each and every day.
And therein lies the problem. People who don't have a smartphone assume it's just a telephone.
It's not.
The iPhone is my sister's primary computer, and smartphones are that for MILLIONS of others. They are fast enough now, and have a good enough display, and enough storage to do most of what people need to do on a computer. Yes, they can even print, using a wireless printer like the one I own.
Do not mistake this: California and the US Government want OWNERSHIP of every piece of information, even the most private, that people store on their phones computers, for that is what smartphones are now.

Anything. It’s a smartphone, they’re basically mid-90s computers you can stick in your pocket, except they have more storage. They can make documents, they can transmit documents. Data could be anywhere on them.
