Top 5 Common Causes of Data Loss on Apple Devices and How to Prevent Them

Data loss on iOS devices is a hassle experience for iPhone users, which results in the loss of crucial documents or media files. Taking professional Apple data recovery services can successfully retrieve lost or corrupted data. In this blog, we’ll explore the five most common reasons for data loss in iOS and how following the right measures can help prevent them.

1. Accidental loss of data through human error 

One of the common causes of data loss is accidental deletion through human error. As iPhone users use their iPhones daily, it is easier for accidents to happen such as typing, editing, updating, and deletions resulting in data loss. Frequent and heavy use of iPhones results in human errors.  

For instance, a user unintentionally deletes a file without a backup available. It could be due to a lack of concentration, negligence, or confusion on the part of the user. 

Prevention  

Apple Data Recovery advises users to avoid actions that result in accidental deletion of their data. It’s best to regularly back up using iCloud or an external drive. You can use the “recently deleted” section in the photos and files section that allows you to recover deleted items within a certain period. 

2. Hardware Failure

Another common reason for the loss of iPhone data is damage to hardware components. If you accidentally drop your phone or there is water damage or a broken battery or damaged storage chip, this results in hardware issues. 

For instance, some of the common hardware failures are 

  • Operating system crashes
  • Software errors and crashes (more on this below)
  • Network hardware failure
  • Physical damage to hardware

In cases of hardware failure, you first have to seek expert advice instead of going for DIY fixes.

Prevention 

It is best to keep the health of your device intact by taking care of your phone. Check the health of your storage drive. Avoid exposing your device to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical stress. It’s best to back up your data to lessen the impact of potential hardware issues.

3. Malware issues 

Malware is malicious software that harms the device or data. As malware is constantly evolving, it never goes away. 

Each day your iPhone system blocks malicious viruses, bad websites, suspicious attachments, bad IP addresses, hijackers, and such issues. But again, the next day, those threats will return. Also, there will be new threats as well. There will also be new strains of malware, which your anti-viral system might not know about.

Prevention

To prevent your iOS device Apple Professional Data Recovery Service advises you to keep your iOS updated, install apps from trusted software, enable automatic updates, use strong and unique passwords, monitor regularly for app permissions, and most importantly, be aware of phishing scams.

4. Software issues 

Software issues are also one of the most common causes of data loss. Users lose any unsaved work, which results in the loss of crucial data. Also, a sudden application crash can cause a large loss of data to become corrupted and unrepairable. In some cases, these issues cost more, and the software needs to be completed and reinstalled, which can hamper productivity.

Prevention 

Patch your OS frequently by installing the latest updates as soon as they become available. Ensure that your data backup protects all your application data. Also, always make sure that you choose software from trusted developers and be careful with integrations. 

5. Data corruption 

One of the major problems that the iPhone Data Recovery NYC service encounters is data corruption. Data corruption can happen due to a variety of reasons, such as system crashes, sudden power failure when updating, virus attacks, an unstable connection while transferring files to an iPhone, or a loss of internet connectivity when downloading. With data corruption, your files and information become partially or completely unreadable or inaccessible. 

Prevention 

You can prevent data loss by keeping your Apple app software up-to-date. Always ensure that you use a unique passcode or password for your device. Add two-factor authentication for added security. Manage app permissions and always connect Wi-Fi networks.

Micro soldering: A Solution to All

Though there are prevention tips to avoid data loss, sometimes things are simply out of our hands. While there are many tools and methods available for recovering lost data on the iPhone, sometimes the standard approach does not work; more advanced techniques come to the rescue, and one such technique is micro-soldering.

Why is microsoldering needed?

Micro soldering can be a lifesaver for data. As data storage components in an iPhone are delicate, it can be difficult to access them and repair them using standard tools and methods. Also, the iPhone uses proprietary components and software, which makes for the standard tools to access and extract the data.

Also, physical damage to the iPhone, such as wet, dropped, or some physical trauma can cause loss of data. In such cases, micro-soldering can repair the damaged components and restore access to data. 

How does micro-soldering work?

Micro-soldering is an advanced repair technique used by Apple Recovery Services that involves soldering components at a microscopic scale. It can help to get a close-up view of the components, and its repair can include soldering wires, replacing damaged parts, replacing chips, or salvaging components to transfer to a known working device. 

Once the data storage components are recovered or replaced, the technician will use specific data recovery software. Through this software, the technician can scan the device and extract the data.

As micro-soldiering is an advanced technique, it requires a high level of skill and experience. Hence, you need to choose a reputable, experienced technician who can carry out the job with the utmost safety to the device.
