Recovery mode and out of space - how to restore photos and videos?

iPhone 6s Plus out of storage space and in recovery mode. Can’t update IOS software using iTunes (won’t finish downloading - probably due to the storage space issue). Is there any way I can recover my photos and videos? I don’t care about the phone, just want my photos and videos back. I have not backed up to a iCloud or iTunes. Please help!

Do you think i can take it to a data recovery repairer who can take out the hardware with the memory and place it in another iPhone to read the data? I know that sounds far fetched but I’m really desperate! Any help would be appreciated.

No personal experience, but my knowledge of how iOS data is protected tells me no.


Accessing the hardware and data is one thing. It's the encryption that may be the issue. If the encryption key is deleted or damaged, you may get data that can't be made to make sense.
