In North Las Vegas, Nevada, data recovery became urgent when an Apple iPhone A2160 (256 GB model) was accidentally dropped in water. The phone contained 100 GB of irreplaceable data, including photos, videos, documents, and scanned files, but it would no longer power on.
The customer first brought the device to a local UBreakiFix location, where technicians found that the motherboard was damaged beyond repair. With no backup and the data seemingly lost, the situation appeared hopeless. That’s when the case was entrusted to WeRecoverData, the leading data recovery company trusted for handling complex iOS failures.
At the WeRecoverData cleanroom lab, engineers carefully examined the device. Although the phone itself could not be powered on, the NAND memory chip — where all user data is stored — remained intact. Using advanced chip-off recovery methods, specialists safely removed the NAND chip and extracted the raw data.
By reconstructing the iOS file system, the team successfully recovered the full 100 GB of content, including every photo, video, document, and app file.
The recovery was a complete success. What began as a devastating case of water damage turned into a full restoration, thanks to WeRecoverData. This case proves that even severely damaged devices can still yield their data when handled by experts in professional data recovery.
