All Apple devices are AES encrypted with a combination of a key on flash in the CPU, and a unique static key in the CPU core. "Erasing" the phone just removes the key, rendering the bulk flash storage completely useless. There's never any data stored which is not encrypted.

Doesn't seem necessary if you had disk encryption enabled. The data remaining unerased on the disk is already meaningless without the key.
Edit: I didn't realize virtually all phones' storage is encrypted nowadays.
