Can iPhone Data Be Recovered If The Phone Has Been Reset? – SlashGear

Although Apple’s Support pages doesn’t specifically cover the topic, there are methods you can try to attempt to recover newly erased iPhone settings and files without a proper backup. The operative term here is “newly erased” and refers to data that has not been overwritten yet. To put it simply, once you erase and reset an iPhone and perform tasks on it, the device is no longer considered “newly wiped,” and recovering previously stored data on it may be impossible.

One thing you can do is venture into the world of third-party data recovery apps. There are several options that you can try and most of them offer the ability to partially glean data from your iPhone’s internal memory (that hasn’t been overwritten yet). You’ll need to install one of these programs onto a computer and perform data recovery by connecting your iPhone to it. Do note, however, that complete data restoration is not a guarantee and that depending on what service you use, the ability to gain back the most amount of lost data may not be free.
