Product Description
The Paraben iPhone recovery stick is a device that will retrieve deleted data from an iPhone running up to iOS v12.x You must have the phone in hand to recover the data. Connect the phone and the recovery stick to the computer at the same time and run the software to begin retrieving the data. The recovery process may take more than a few hours to finish. If you cannot keep the phone for that long, you can run a backup of the phone and then use the backup to retrieve the data. The type of data the iRecovery will retrieve is deleted text messages, pictures, web history, contacts, and call logs. There is no guarantee that a specific piece of data will be recovered; since there is not a specific time frame data will still be stored on the phones memory. When a new piece of data is received it will overwrite deleted data. Your antivirus MUST be disabled before the stick is connected to the computer. The iRecovery Stick runs on Windows Vista, 2000, 7, 8, and 10. It currently supports iPhones running any OS through iOS 12.x
