Anyone else have corrupted photos and videos sometimes? Why does this happen?

[Silly John Fatty]

I wanted to import photos on my Mac (I do it via cable) and it said it couldn't import these and these photos. And I've had this happend regularly since I've had iPhones.

In my iPhone photo gallery, it looks like this:

Why does this happen, and is there any way to recover these, or are they lost forever?

My iPhone storage was nearly full by the way, so maybe that's a factor. But weirdly, these weren't the "last" photos, i.e. when the iPhone was becoming "fuller", but they were right in the middle of my camera roll.

Very annoying thing.

This is unusual, I've never encountered this before. Have you tried restarting?

I have, but it remains the same. I’ve actually had this quite regularly (but not often) with different iPhones.

Would you happen to know which storage capacity those phones had?

I think one had 16 GB and two had 32 GB. Do you think this could happen when space is not available anymore?

Because I’ve always had tricks how to keep on doing photos, even though it tells you there’s no space available anymore (e.g. Closing apps and re trying to make the message disappear).

Probably

Probably

Too bad, I guess those photos are unrecoverable. Maybe they were never even "made" in the first place.

For all of them it says they have 0 KB. Interestingly, they have a format (JPG) and a name ("IMG_#").
