okay, long shot here. from a dumb human.

I've bought a new iPhone, and instead of using the feature of transferring from one to another right away, I tried to do a backup to a Mac. Turns out the other one had little available storage (about 8 GB, which is insane to think it's little), and while it was in the process of backing up it entered the infinite apple screen loop.

me being me I do not have the content saved anywhere, I had it on a Mac but had to delete it in September and so far have not been able to do another one.

is there any way to recover my files? Especially my photos and videos. since 2014...

I'm devastated. If someone has a tip that helps it will be appreciated.

Yes, I'm setting up cloud storage this time.

Please don't be mean. It's all my fault.

If you are lucky one battery replacement should make your iphone boot.
