There is no way to recover data lost in a restore; the data no longer exists. The same way it wouldn’t exist if your phone was lost, stole, dropped in a toilet or thrown under a bus. That’s why it is essential to back up all important data on whatever device you are using, be it a PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, or any other Apple or non-Apple device.


Did you sync data to iCloud? Did you back it up to your computer? Did you back it up to iCloud (which is completely independent of syncing it to iCloud)?
