However, Mr Johnson’s office said his team was still working with government security officials on how best to switch on the old phone
Firstly it seems really funny that a team of government security officials are “figuring out” how to turn on an old phone when my own phone is probably older.
But secondly it would be really trivial for someone with basic technical knowledge to extract the memory storage component and recover the data even if it never turned on again.

This would be bread and butter to organisations with experience in data forensics (if you have the device, data is never lost it just becomes increasingly hard to extract) but I’d imagine most phone shop workers could do it for you. Give me an hour and I’d take a run at it for £20. As it’s BoJo, I might even do it for free.
