I can't either so I'll have to speculate. I imagine it must be a personal phone, because a government-provided one should be accessible by their sysadmin so Johnson's password wouldn't be required. Despite his public act he's not an idiot, so his personal phone probably will be encrypted, but I imagine the default iPhone encryption won't be able to outlast the police's resources if they really want to get in.

It'll almost certainly be his personal phone. A recurring issue with the tory government has been that they use their personal phones for government business.
