How to Recover Deleted Photos From iPhone

How can I recover deleted photos from iPhone’ is a frequently asked question you may hear from distressed Apple i-Phone users who have accidentally lost their rare photographs and other valuable collections from their i-Devices. I can assure you that it is not the end of the world if you ever find yourself in such a desperate situation when, by chance, you lose all your rare life collections of pictures and videos from your Apple i-Device. In a situation like this it is quite natural for you to doubt whether it is at all possible to recover the deleted photos from your iPhone. But the good news is that you can retrieve all your lost data and get them back on your iPhone quite easily but how? In order to clear this uncertainty let me first explain the internal data backup process in Apple i-Devices before I discuss how to recover deleted pictures from your iPhone.
 
The data backup process in Apple i-Devices

Each time you synchronize your iPhone with iTunes the latest data on your iPhone are automatically backed up by iTunes (as a sqlitedb file) in your computer and this special backup file gets continuously updated along with iTunes synchronization. This file can not be viewed or taken out unless you use a third party data recovery software specially designed to make the lost data alive by using advanced algorithms. Therefore, there is every possibility to recover deleted photos from your iPhone from the above back up files if you can take help of a good iPhone data recovery software.
I should also caution you here about another most important thing that, in case of accidental loss of data from your iPhone do not try to connect the phone to iTunes anymore or else iTunes may take a new backup of your iPhone overwriting your old one and you'll never be able to get back your lost data. Also you need to move very fast as the chances of getting back your lost data would diminish progressively with time.
