Hi guys. I recently went to a small shop to replace my Iphone 6s battery. However, I am now beginning to worry if they could somehow steal my data during the process.
I turned off the phone and all along it was locked. The whe battery replacement process took about 10 mins without me witnessing on site. would it be possible for them to access my storage or steals my personal information? Thanks for your enlightenment.

To feel more comfortable, you had to follow these instructions before having your device serviced:--> Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ready for service - Apple Support
But in just ten minutes, and since your iPhone was locked, I shouldn't worry about your data.

I don't think they could have done it in such a short span

Hi Giulio,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, that's what I am trying to convince myself as well.. what could happen in such a short time. Prying open the phone, replace battery, putting the casing back on.
But technically, what would be the likelihood of they steal my data if they want to even in such short span?
Without knowing your passcode to unlock it, there was no way to access any data. You are safe.
Can your iphone data be stolen while it's locked
