Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I had iCloud backup turned on, on my damaged iPhone 11 before turning it in to the apple store for a replacement. I believe I neglected to backup the phone recently though and I have already turned in my device to an apple store. Will I still be able to retrieve all of my data and photos?
iPhone 11, iOS 15
