iPhone Data Recovery Perth — Apple Specialist Workshop

Last Updated: 19 June 2026

Common Issues & How We Fix Them

Our Perth team recovers data from every iPhone generation — Apple Silicon and older — whether the phone is water-damaged, smashed, locked or simply will not switch on. These are the faults we see most often.

Liquid or water damage

A phone that has been dropped in water, caught in rain or spilt on may still hold all of its data even when it will not power on. We dry and clean the logic board, address corrosion, and recover photos, messages and contacts — speed matters here, so bring it in powered off rather than trying to charge it.

Won’t turn on, boot loop or stuck on the Apple logo

A black screen or an endless Apple-logo loop usually points to a software or power fault rather than lost data. We diagnose whether it is the battery, the charging circuit or the storage, then recover the contents directly where the phone cannot be revived.

Stuck in an ‘Attempting Data Recovery’ loop

If your iPhone shows ‘Attempting Data Recovery’ after an update or restore, stopping or forcing it the wrong way can cost you everything. We handle this carefully in our workshop and extract the data rather than risk an erase.

Cracked or black screen, but the phone still works

A smashed or dead screen does not mean lost data. We either fit a temporary display to back everything up or pull the data straight off the device, so your photos and messages are safe before any screen repair.

Accidentally deleted photos, messages or contacts

Deleted does not always mean gone. We attempt recovery of recently removed photos, chats and contacts from the device and any linked backup, and tell you honestly what is realistically recoverable before you commit.

Locked, disabled or forgotten passcode

A disabled or passcode-locked iPhone that holds irreplaceable data is one of the hardest jobs and one we will assess honestly — we will tell you up front whether recovery is possible for your model and iOS version.

We work on a no-recovery, no-fee basis: if your data cannot be recovered there is nothing to pay, and we give you a clear quote before any chargeable work begins.
