First I did an Itunes backup. Analyzing it with various backup analyzer, I can easily have a list of the app installed. If the iPhone was affected by malware that can record voices, send sms to other people, use GPS to localize owner etc. May I find the malware in that list?
Second, actually the iPhone is in a Faraday bag, airplane mode and running by his battery. After one hour and half the battery level is 100%. May I consider it clean?
thanks
Is the iPhone Jailbroken? If not then it unlikely, although not impossible, that it is infected with Malware/Spyware. I have yet to come across any commercial software that can load malware/spyware onto a non-jailbroken iphone.
Indicators of Malware/Spyware include faster than normal battery consumption (the handset will be warm), high data usage, any unusual sms activity. The interception of any internet activity would potentially indicate if the handset is connecting to a website/server and uploading any details.
Depending on your personal circumstances I would want a bit more reassurance than waiting for 1.5 hours. If the Spyware is sophisticated enough it could sense that there is no internet activity and just wait until it detects the internet connection is operating again.
Analysing the handset with a forensic tool is also recommended.

Allegedly the new Facebook messenger does all that 😉
