Has anyone successfully retrieved deleted photos from iPhone 15? I'm not talking about recovering from recently deleted, it's useless, I can't find them anywhere on my iPhone 15. And the worst thing is that I don't have a backup and I don't know how to retrieved these photos from iPhone 15.

Oh man, I totally feel your pain. Been there, done that! From what I've personally seen (and heard from other mates), it's kinda a mixed bag.

1. Third-Party Apps: Some friends swear by third-party software like FoneLab or PhoneRescue. They've said they managed to get back some stuff, but it’s not always a surefire thing. If you go this route, be super careful where you download from. There are some sketchy apps out there that are just after your cash or, worse, your data.

2. Cloud Surprises: I once thought I lost some pics forever, then realized I had Google Photos installed and it had been backing things up without me even noticing. So, maybe double-check iCloud Photos, Google Photos, or other cloud storages. I know it's a long shot, but hey, surprises happen!

3. Good Ol' Computer: Did you maybe sync your iPhone with a computer recently? Sometimes there's this sneaky backup on iTunes (or Finder on newer Macs) that you didn’t even know about. Happened to a buddy of mine once.

4. Apple Support: I called them once for a similar issue. They're nice and all, but mostly gave me the "Did you check your Recently Deleted?" and "Do you have a backup?" spiel. But hey, might be worth a try. They could have some new tricks up their sleeve.

In the end, it's a bummer, but these situations really drill in the importance of backups. Fingers crossed you manage to retrieve your photos!

As you're already been appraised of: no backup - no recovery.

Next time if you don't have a desktop/laptop computer to backup to or don't have iCloud backup then you'll need a PhotoStick.

Don't know if the PhotoStick will backup your Contacts, emails, etc. but you should seriously consider a way to back them up also.

How do you expect to recover any data when there is no backup?

Since you have no backup those pictures are gone.

"I'm not talking about recovering from recently deleted, it's useless"

It is the only place where Photos is saving deleted photos for to recover them, but only up to thirty days, and only, if we do not remove them from Recently Deleted, before time is up. Did you empty Recently Deleted yourself? If deleted photos have not been saved in Recently Deleted, you may have been running out of iCloudStorage. Then the deleted photos will be deleted instantly to help you free your cloud storage quickly. In that case you should also do something about the lack of cloud storage; otherwise iCloud will stop working properly for you.
