Will an iPhone Logic Board replacement cause me to lose data stored on the phone itself?

A component on my iPhone's Logic Board is damaged and will require the entire board to be replaced. I plan on dropping it off at my local Best Buy for repairs. Most of my important data is backed up, but there are things in the Notes app and in Files that are not backed up to the cloud. Are these files at all salvageable?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Not an “authorized” professional…


And even if it can be, the storage is on the logic board. if you replace the logic board, the storage gets replaced at the same time. Anything stored on the device is gone the moment the logic board is removed.

You can’t transplant the storage from one logic board to another.
