Usually, recovering deleted data from cell phones is only possible using special software designed for computer forensic investigations or for updating the firmware on the phone. There are many products that recover deleted text messages from SIM cards, however; iPhones do not store user data on SIM cards making such products useless for iPhone users.

The iRecovery Stick (iRS) uses the same computer forensic software produced by Paraben Corporation which is used by law enforcement and computer forensic investigators around the world to download as much data from the iPhone as possible without altering the phone in any way. The process is simple. Connect your iPhone to your Windows based computer (cancel the iTunes Sync if it starts) and connect the iRS to the same computer. Open the iRS drive and run the iRS.exe program. Once open, click the "Start" button and the recovery process will begin. Due to the deep level data recovery, the process can take from 15 minutes to several hours to complete. Once completed, you will immediately be able to see all the data recovered from the iPhone. The majority of the data will be normal user data that has never been deleted. You will also be able to easily view all deleted data that has been recovered.

Deleted data is a tricky thing. When data is deleted from the iPhone, the phone marks the data as deleted and no longer displays it on the phone. However, this data is still there until new data overwrites it. Sometimes, this data is overwritten very quickly. If new data is never added to the phone, this data will be recoverable indefinitely. With iPhones, new data is written over deleted space first so only the most recent data can be recovered.
