On most recent phones, the system is encrypted by default and a factory reset erases the keys, which does make it unrecoverable (unless the key is elsewhere, which I haven't heard of).

Definitely unrecoverable. The whole point of the feature is to make it impossible to recover the data once the key is erased, so you can be sure they're not storing a backup anywhere as that would defeat the point.
