Ask HN: Can this iPhone data be recovered?
14 by mod | 5 comments on Hacker News.
My niece, I think, is learning a lesson the hard way, but I promised to do everything I could to help, and this is my last step. Briefly: * iPhone 7 plus, I think * Last backed up Nov 2017 * Baby born shortly before Nov 2017 * 18 months of baby photos, not backed up * Phone became disabled via ten password attempts * No iTunes machine was previously "trusted" * Phone is hers, has receipt etc Is this recoverable without data loss ? She doesn't care about the phone. She's willing to buy another phone and wait out quantum computing or some brilliant future hack. She is not willing to do a restore and lose her baby photos. Does apple have a backdoor or a way to enable this phone? We also can't get it to connect to wifi--she attempted to up her iCloud size to allow a backup over wifi, which I thought was pretty clever for a non-technical person. Any other ideas to recover the photos? Thanks HN
