I'm afraid that's not enough.

Down inside there is a tiny flash memory chip around 10x15mm in size. Easy for the M police to desolder that and put it into a usb ziff socket or solder it to another phone and see all your mucky top down browsing history.

Chucking the phone in your pint, Factory reset, delete or format won't clear your filthy Miata/MX5 photos off of that chip.

You gotta find that chip and put a drill through it. Or shred the whole phone.

Or chuck it into that bottom drawer with all the other old phones and chargers.

iPhones since the iPhone 5s have routinely encrypted the storage so that it can't be unencrypted without the both the secure enclave chip and CPU (both PIN and the unique encryption key of the CPU).

It'd be like trying to recover a Windows SSD that had been encrypted with Bitlocker but you didn't know the recovery key...so even taking it out of the PC and putting it in an enclosure attached to a second PC would not get you access to the data.

But yes, grind everything down and put it in a furnace just to be safe ;)
