iPhone Data Recovery UK
Expert Services from Data Clinic

Data Clinic are the UK’s leading specialists in iPhone data recovery. We recover precious photos, videos, contacts, text messages, WhatsApp media, documents, and notes from physically damaged, faulty, or unresponsive iPhones – even when others say it’s impossible.
We successfully recover data from iPhones that have been smashed, bent, crushed, run over, intentionally broken, water damaged, or fire damaged. Our advanced lab techniques go far beyond what high street phone repair shops can offer.
If your iPhone won’t turn on, has a smashed screen, shows the Apple logo forever, or has been declared “beyond repair” elsewhere – contact us today for a professional second opinion and data recovery assessment.
What Data We Can Recover from Your iPhone
We specialise in retrieving:
- Photos and videos (including from the native Camera Roll)
- Contacts
- Text messages (SMS/iMessage)
- WhatsApp messages and media
- Notes
- Documents and other native app data
Important limitations – We cannot recover data stored in non-native iPhone apps, such as third-party galleries, banking apps, crypto wallets, or similar encrypted/external services. If it’s non-native app data you need, contact us as we may be able to repair your phone back to a working condition allowing you to extract your data.
Important Conditions and When Recovery May Not Be Possible
- We require your passcode to access and recover data (unless your iPhone is an iPhone 4 or older).
- If the iPhone has been factory reset, data no longer exists on the device – recovery is not possible.
- Too many incorrect passcode attempts resulting in “iPhone Unavailable” means we cannot recover data.
- If files were permanently deleted and the phone has been heavily used since, recovery is unlikely.
- We will not return your phone – it will be completely dismantled as part of the data recovery process.
- For data in non-native apps, we can offer a custom repair/rebuild to temporarily access the app (but no guarantees on long-term phone functionality due to prior stress on chips).

Our Proven iPhone Data Recovery Levels
We use a tiered approach based on damage severity – this ensures transparent pricing and the highest chance of success.
Level 1 iPhone Data Recovery
Handles issues with peripheral components like the screen, battery, charging port, power lines, and buttons.
Typical cases: Smashed screens, faulty charging ports, power issues, damaged chassis.
Around 60% of recoveries are completed successfully at this level.
Note: Level 1 costs are payable regardless of outcome.
Level 2 iPhone Data Recovery
Required when the logic board (motherboard) has damage or faults. Our technicians use advanced techniques including micro soldering, ultrasonic baths, chip replacements, and more to fix complex internal issues.
Typical cases: Bent devices, run-over phones, liquid damage, fire damage, heavy impact.
Note: Level 2 costs are only payable upon successful recovery.
Level 3 iPhone Data Recovery (CPU Swap)
If Level 2 cannot resolve multiple or unlocatable faults, we assess for Level 3 – removing the data-holding chips (including CPU) from your logic board and transplanting them into a donor working board. This specialist work is only recommended when viable – your technician will advise after assessment.
Key Points for All iPhone Recovery Services
- Your iPhone will be fully dismantled during the process.
- Your phone will not be returned.
- Recovered data is provided securely on a USB memory stick.
- All work is carried out in our UK labs by experienced technicians.
Why Choose Data Clinic Over High Street Shops?
High street repair shops often stop at basic fixes and lack the tools/expertise for logic board-level work. We’ve recovered data from thousands of severely damaged iPhones since 2002 – using forensic-grade equipment that high street shops simply don’t have.
Don’t accept “it’s unrecoverable” without our expert assessment. Many clients come to us after being turned away elsewhere.
