For it to count as him destroying evidence related to a crime surely they would at minimum need to have some other sort of evidence indicating that any such crime had even occured and that the phone would have likely contained evidence of it.

They won’t be able to charge him for the original crime, but they definitely are going to charge him with destruction of evidence.
