Are you saying that you never made backups of your valuable photos and videos?


If yes, you will need to make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop to let them check over the phone and go over your options with you.


You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link:

With luck, it might be something as simple as a new battery.
