How To Perform Data Recovery On MacBook Pro 2018 With Water Damage?

Does anyone know how I might recover my data from the drive? I brought it to apple and all they could do was remove it from the water damaged laptop. I was told the adapter for it is not available because it’s a rare drive that apple started making differently not long after.

It's quite challenging to recover data from a water-damaged MacBook Pro 2018 since its SSD is soldered with the motherboard, shutting you out from removing it solely for data recovery. Furthermore, you can not tell whether the motherboard is water-damaged or not as well, so the only two ways for you to perform data is to use Time Machine backup and cloud storage. If you have neither, there is less possibility to recover the files and folders. If you persist in data recovery, go to the local data recovery services and ask if the experts have any ideas.
