I recorded a 2-hour video on my iPhone, but because I ran out of storage space, it only saved the first 7 minutes. Is there any chance I can retrieve the rest of the video?

The only real solution might be to try using something like Time Machine or another backup method, but honestly, that might not work if the video never saved in the first place. Just keep an eye on your storage in the future!
I hate to break it to you, but there’s really no way to recover what’s gone. The storage needed to save that full recording just wasn’t there. It’s always a good idea to check available storage before recording long videos!
Unfortunately, if your iPhone ran out of storage, the extra video simply couldn't be saved. Think of it like a bucket overflowing—once it's full, anything extra just spills over. Sadly, that means the rest of your video is likely lost.
