Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Unified logs are a forensic resource for iOS that includes granular background activity that can't be obtained in any other forensic artifact. The logs can be collected manually on a Mac via libimobiledevice or automatically using a script written by the author. The author provides suggestions for commercial and open-source tools to read the .logarchive, a structured bundle containing binary .tracev3 files.
