Mobile forensics is often considered more challenging due to dynamic data (e.g., cloud sync, encryption), diverse OS versions (iOS/Android), and volatile evidence. Computer forensics deals with more static storage but larger data volumes. 

uCertify experts recommend starting with Autopsy (free), Cellebrite UFED (industry standard), and Oxygen Forensics for logical extraction. 

Yes, but certifications (e.g., GCFA, CHFI) and hands-on experience (e.g., virtual live labs, internships, CTF competitions) are critical. 

High-demand mobile forensics jobs are available in law enforcement, private firms, and incident response teams. Salary range 70k-120k+ (US), with cloud/mobile expertise boosting earnings.
