The Magic behind iPhone Recovery

Data recovery from iOS devices is generally more complicated than a regular Mac file recovery process. When Disk Drill scans your iOS device for lost data directly, it creates an invisible iTunes backup file that has all the device's databases in it. Then Disk Drill runs its own iOS data recovery tools to rebuild your iOS files and data structures to list with everything recoverable.

The same iOS data recovery process takes place when an existing iTunes backup is analyzed by Disk Drill.

Disk Drill 3 will help you recover various file and data types from your iPhone, iPad or iPod. iOS data recovery is mostly related to these ones.

I had a Sandisk Extreme SD card go glitchy in my Samsung phone with about 4k photos and videos with no backup. 5 years of memories. Three of your “competitors” estimated a retrieval of 2000 items. One company never sent me a good product key. The others made excuses for results. One managed to actually retrieve a few hundred. Your software retrieved all but 150 items in perfect or near perfect condition!!! Nearly 4000 photos and videos. You guys are awesome!!! Those photos are my life!! Thank you.

Remember Hugo’s Mac computer? His external hard drive crashed. He bought a piece of software called Disk Drill. The software worked perfectly. It recovered everything on his busted external hard drive. If you have a Mac, you need this software. Harry Newton
