Recovery of an iPhone 6 data from sea water? Possible?

Hi


Today I accidentally forgot my phone in my pocket and went into the sea jetski ....


I went go a small shop they said it can't be repaired, I'm not sure if they are good or no but I'd like to ask if someone had the same problem as I had and he could recovery data...


The data is important to me.


I have another iPhone 6, if I swapped the memory will I get my data back?


Thank you

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

Even if you remove the chips and they could be pwered on, the data is encrypted and that encryption is tied to the device hardware. Simply putting it onto another device's logic board and trying the password won't help as the hardware/cpu ID will be wrong so the data cannot be decrypted. Your only hope would be if the device you have survived the immersion, which it already sounds like you know it did not. Hopefully you have a backup to restore a replacement device from.
