That is data.
I just showed you that Smith got access to data on Trump's WH phone.
Call records are data; read the definition. But data are a lot more than that. This is likely to be very useful to the court in determining what Trump's involvement was on that day.

See the definition.
Likely, whoever did this for him had clearances, and things not applicable to any crimes Trump committed or was an accessory to, would not be provided to Smith. I notice that people with knowledge of the legal implications of this, think that it is a serious problem for Trump.

yes, that doesn't contradict anything I saidSmith said Trump is now on notice that Expert 1 (none of the experts were identified by name) has “knowledge, skill, experience, training, and education beyond the ordinary lay person regarding the interpretation and visual representation of geographic location data” and can speak to, through analysis of the data, how various individuals moved towards the U.S. Capitol “during and after” Trump’s fateful speech at the Ellipse, which he encouraged his supporters to attend weeks earlier to protest the “stolen” election.
“Be there, will be wild!” Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, 2020, of the “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th.”
On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump told his supporters, “All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing. And stolen by the fake news media. That’s what they’ve done and what they’re doing. We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”
As Trump told the crowd “you’ll never take back our country with weakness,” encouraged them to “be strong” and “demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated,” he also said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
“We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” Trump said in closing.
Expert 1 will testify about using “software to create a map of the Google location history data […] for Google accounts and devices associated with individuals who moved, on January 6, 2021, from an area at or near the Ellipse to an area encompassing the United States Capitol building,” Smith’s filing said. “His/her testimony will describe and explain the resulting graphical representations of that data, and it will aid the jury in understanding the movements of individuals toward the Capitol area during and after the defendant’s speech at the Ellipse.”
Expert 2 will similarly testify about how people moved during and after Trump’s speech, and about the technical work involved in determining the “approximate location at which a device with Google location history activated was used at a particular time or range of times.”
“The Government expects that Expert 2 will testify about: the process of determining device location; the collection and use of location history data by Google, LLC; and location history data produced in response to a search warrant and included in the graphical representation prepared by Expert 1,” the Special Counsel’s Office said. “His/her testimony will aid the jury in understanding the movements of individuals toward the Capitol area during and after the defendant’s speech at the Ellipse.”
Expert 3’s expected testimony will be about both Trump’s White House cell phone use and that of unidentified Individual-1 after losing the 2020 election. That testimony will likely include details about when Trump’s phone was unlocked and when his Twitter app (now known as X) was open on Jan. 6:
Expert 3 has knowledge, skill, experience, training, and education beyond the ordinary lay person regarding the analysis of cellular phone data, including the use of Twitter and other applications on cell phones. The Government expects that Expert 3 will testify that he/she: (1) extracted and processed data from the White House cell phones used by the defendant and one other individual (Individual 1); (2) reviewed and analyzed data on the defendant’s phone and on Individual 1’s phone, including analyzing images found on the phones and websites visited; (3) determined the usage of these phones throughout the post-election period, including on and around January 6, 2021; and (4) specifically identified the periods of time during which the defendant’s phone was unlocked and the Twitter application was open on January 6.
Jack Smith reveals what expert witnesses will testify about Trump's Twitter use on Jan. 6
Jack Smith has three expert witnesses who will testify, based on analysis of location and cell phone data, on how people moved during and after Trump's Jan. 6 speech at the Ellipse.
As I said: there is a difference between call records and personal user data / application data, etc.
I get it. You don't realize what "data" means:
The linked article pointed this fact out. Now that you know what "data" means, you should understand.
No. It doesn't mean that he has all of it.

I get it. You don't realize what "data" means:

Washington — Federal investigators have gained access to White House cellphone records — including a phone used by former President Donald Trump — and could use that information as evidence in the special counsel's 2020 election-related trial, prosecutors revealed late Monday.
While it remains unclear exactly what prosecutors got their hands on and how much the White House cellphone records account for Trump's past online activity, according to special counsel Jack Smith, a technical witness who examined the phone for usage information "throughout the post-election period" might be called to discuss the data during the trial.
(my emphasis) C'mon. They have his phone from the WH (and that data is not personal; the Presidential Records Act makes it clear that such data is the property of the government) and can get from it what there is to get.
I'm just mentioning what the article says.
Special counsel Jack Smith has extracted data from the cell phone Donald Trump used while in the White House and plans to present evidence of his findings to a Washington, D.C. jury to demonstrate how Trump used the phone in the weeks during which he attempted to subvert the 2020 election.
In a court filing Monday, Smith indicated that he plans to call an expert witness who extracted and reviewed data copied from Trump’s phone, as well as a phone used by another unidentified individual in Trump’s orbit.
The data from Trump’s phone could reveal day-to-day details of his final weeks in office, including his daily movements, his Twitter habits and any other aides who had access to his accounts and devices. The data, for example, could help show whether Trump personally approved or sent a fateful tweet attacking his vice president, Mike Pence, during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Special counsel reveals plans to use Trump’s phone data at trial
Jack Smith indicated that he plans to call an expert witness who extracted and reviewed data copied from Trump’s phone.
This data could be very useful to nail down what Trump's role in the Jan. 6 insurrection was.
