Ohio agrees with you.
The Supreme Courts of California and Ohio have come down on
opposite sides of the question of whether police need a warrant
to search an arrested person’s cellphone.
...
Ohio’s court, on the other hand, ruled in December 2009 that a
cell phone is more like a laptop, holding vast amounts of personal
information and thus subject to greater privacy protections —
namely, a warrant for searching it.
