How do I recover lost data without backup?

Okay so here it goes, I restarted my iphone 6 the other day and it won't boot properly. (stucked in apple logo). I made a hard reset and followed the instructions on how to update using itunes. I was able to update it to ios10.3.3 and it worked perfectly.

My battery died and while I was charging it, the apple logo kept on blinking and kept on rebooting (dark screen) for like 4-5 seconds. I tried the same method again, making sure I click on UPDATE and not RESTORE.

It finished updating the ios again but to my horror, it restored to factory settings. I lost all 60gb worth of photos and videos all the memories I had for the last two years. I know it's stupid of me not to back it up in itunes or icloud.

Is there a way where I can recover all my photos and videos at least? I heard there are third party software who can do the work.. Please help I'm desperate.

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.3, null

technically speaking, the data is never lost until it's replaced by other data, even if you restore the device to factory settings

as far as I know there are some companies that can restore the data that was stored

on the device but that is in the case of HDD and SSD drives in general ( Macbooks, laptops, etc... )

apple care can help provide the names of certain companies I think in this field, but I am not sure if the same method can be applied in a smart phone !!
