Track my iphone

Hi guys, so something really sad happened to me.. I went to a trip this weekend and I forgot my iPhone in the city I went to (super far away) was looking around to get a replacement since I have coverage with Apple Store. Not sure why my iPhone got blocked and erased all of my data on that phone and I wanted to recover all of my photos from the trip. I had all of my information on the phone and not in the iCloud. Is there a way to recover my photos if they were permanently erased from the lost account? My friend has my phone and I have the iCloud and pw. I'm so sad and broken that all of my memories were erased and I know it's my fault for not doing a backup on the iPhone..

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

If the only copy of the data was on the iPhone itself, and it’s been erased, then no, that data is gone now. You would need to have backed it up somewhere to recover it - iCloud, or a personal computer. But without a backup it is gone for good now if that device has been erased.
