Touch ID is a no-go for most tools.

Passphrases are the way to go if you want to keep your data secure on iOS.

Forensics tools can't crack my 20-character alphanumeric password. Good luck with that!

I'd be more worried about my passphrase getting cracked than my fingerprint.

I feel like I read somewhere that some tools can bypass simple passcodes, but I'm not confident about the specifics.

I think forensics tools can definitely crack simple passcodes, but I'm not sure about passphrases.

Simple passcode, for sure. Forensics tools have gotten really good at bypassing that kind of basic security. Gotta go with B on this one.

Ugh, I'm not sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully and weigh the pros and cons of each option.

I'm leaning towards the simple passcode. Forensics tools are pretty advanced these days, and a simple 4-digit code might not be enough to stop them.

I think B is the most likely. Simple passcodes are easier to crack.

I’m pretty sure that passphrases are much harder to crack, but I can't recall if any tools can handle them at all.

Okay, let's see. I know Touch ID is pretty secure, so I'm guessing that's not the easiest to crack. Passphrase seems like the most secure option, so that's probably not it either.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'd start by thinking about the security features of iOS devices and which ones are most vulnerable to forensics tools.
