ok so exactly one year ago i got a new phone. i used to have an iphone 6s and i upgraded to an iphone 11. my mom bought me the phone and she was going to give my old phone to one of my older relatives. i didn't know how icloud/apple backups worked... so i deleted all my pictures on my old phone (even recently deleted) because i thought they would've already been on my newer phone. i was wrong. i looked in my camera roll on my new phone and ALL of my pictures were gone. i didn't know how to get them back. i almost cried lol but i moved on with my life. it's been a year since i accidentally deleted all my photos and i want to know if there's a way to get them back? i don't think it's possible but i decided to ask on here anyway.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

No. You deleted your photos. When you emptied the Recently Deleted album you permanently deleted your photos and they are irrecoverable.
