Can I recover permanently deleted photos on my iPhone 13?

Even with forensics?

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.
