iPhone Won't Turn On. Can memory/hard drive be pulled from phone?

Hi,

“I would think there is some person at Apple who has the skills to preserve data."

That’s why Apple provides information for backing up data > How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

"Question: is it possible for apple technician to pull hard drive / memory from phone and put into working phone to preserve data?” No.

So, try here > If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

If you can get your iPhone to turn on, do a backup immediately.

Hi

If you had iCloud backup turned on before problems then when you last charged your iPhone is should have been backed up to iCloud Over your wifi.

When you get your iPhone repaired / replaced if it asks if you want to use iCloud backup Say yes to get your photos back this will only work if you had iCloud backup turned on before problems.

If you have a ipad you can also use iCloud backup from that.

The Secure Enclave encryption system ensures your data will not be recoverable if you remove the storage chips and try to read them.

Bottom line is, your data is gone. You chose not to back up and instead trusted your data to a single point of failure, which has now indeed failed. This is why with any and all electronic storage, backups are necessary, not optional (at least if you care about your data).
