Quick question guys, I permanently deleted 10 photos from my iPhone 13 about 15 days ago, I use the phone more than average, will there be cached versions or thumbnails for the deleted photos still on the device? Thanks

Even with forensics. My bosses daughter deleted her photos and then needed them back. Against my advice they paid a company who promised they could get the photos off the phone for $700. They could not and the money was wasted. Data on your phone is encrypted, and once deleted, cannot be retrieved.
This is why redundant backups are very important. I back my photos up to Carbonite, Google Photos, Amazon Photos and to the hard drive on my MacBook Pro. If I delete a photo off my phone, I have alternate places I can retrieve it from.

Only in the movies. In the past when we used HDD drives, a deleted file was just marked as free space in the directory of the HD and the directory could just be rebuilt to point back to where the data is located. Nowadays with SSD drives, they use TRIM technology which has to erase the data before anything else can be written to it again. The erase process is handled automatically soon after a file is deleted. This differs from HDD, since data could simply be overwritten on that drive without having to erase it first and you could recover it as long as nothing else had been saved in that location.
The police can issue a subpoena to Apple that may give them access to data in iCloud or any data stored on their servers, but this has nothing to do with the data on the device being recovered. Of course the internet will say that police can recover deleted photos from the iPhone, but I have not seen one case where that was done when it wasn't simply recovered from the Recently Deleted folder like all of us can do or recovered through a subpoena on Apple servers. There are also sites on the internet that claim they can do it, but you will just find yourself giving them money and the results will be the same.
When you delete a photo from the Recents album in the Photos app you no longer see it there but the photo is actually moved to an album titled Recently Deleted. You can recover deleted photos there as long as it is less that 30 days since deletion. However, if you deleted you photos from that Recently Deleted album then they are indeed permanently deleted and can only be recovered from a backup if you can backed up your photos somewhere else.
If permanently deleted, those photos cannot be retrieved, unless you have a backup created just before you deleted them (bearing in mind that restoring data from that backup will overwrite all your iPhone currently existing data).

Hello~ No. Did you export them elsewhere or share with friends or family?

As far as I know, this would be impossible.

I've read online the earth is flat. That doesn't make it true. You can read all sorts of things online. Believing them however, is often not very wise.

Reading something online does not mean that it is true. As noted, it is not difficult to find articles online that "prove" that the earth is flat.

What about thumbnails or cached versions of the deleted files?
Can I recover permanently deleted photos on my iPhone 13?
