Recover Hard Drive from smashed iPhone 6 Plus?

I have a destroyed iPhone 6 plus. Is their any way to remove the hard drive or, should really say flash drive and put it in a working iPhone. I have a lot of info that might be lost forever. Is it possible anyone apple store or third party could do this? Thanks!

P.S. have tried plugging into computer, nothing 😟

You can't tell for sure without opening the case. The connector or cable could have been damaged, but not the motherboard.


There are data recovery services that can sometimes get data from an iPhone. They are not cheap, however. The problem is the contents are hardware encrypted, so unless the encryption key is intact that won't work either. Even Apple cannot get data out of a working iPhone if asked by law enforcement.

not sure if you got it fix yet but what you said and the look of your iphone you need a new whole screen assembly including the home button and to get your data back you need a working screen for sure to enter your passcode and backup your phone. I suggest trying going apple Genius Bar get a screen replacement if you got warranty or try a 3rd party that can put a screen so you can remove the passcode and backup it up For now
