Enlightening read and explained very well.

As for the Apple bug bringing back old photos from an erased data partition; non-applicable if I recall. Apple identified the bug having to do with restoring devices from backups. Backup data contained the presumed deleted content.

This article is therefore correct that deleted photos from reset devices (and not restored from backup) could not be recovered from the data partition.
