Hello, my iPhone 15 Pro was stolen recently, and I am trying to recover my photos and other data on my new iPhone.
Unfortunately, I only had the free 5 GB iCloud storage plan, and my iCloud storage was frequently full. I have now upgraded my storage to 50 GB, but my photos on iCloud.com only go up to 2024.
When I check my iCloud backups, I can only find a backup of my iPhone 15 Pro dated March 12, 2024. I cannot find a more recent backup of the stolen phone. I can still access my Shared Albums, including albums from my stolen iPhone, but most of my personal photos from recent years are missing.
I have already set up my new iPhone and enabled iCloud Photos. It is showing as synced, but my newer photos have not appeared. I have also never backed up my iPhone to a Mac or PC.
Could you please check whether there are any other backups or recovery options available for my stolen iPhone 15 Pro? I would particularly like to know whether Apple can help me recover my photos and other data from the period after March 2024.
I understand that recovery may not be possible if the photos were never uploaded to iCloud, but I would appreciate it if you could investigate all available options before I give up on recovering them.
