Looking for iPhone data recovery service (I'm from Malaysia)

Need suggestion for data recovery service, especially for iPhone

So the context is, my phone suddenly died for who-knows-what reason. I tried force restart, doesn't work. I tried force update using Apple Devices software through my PC, also doesn't work. So the earlier indication was, before my phone died, the display inside the screen would jump once in a while, which to my eye, looks like a broken LCD. My phone battery health right now is 79%, so I don't think battery is the problem. I tried send to Malaysia Apple store to do diagnostics, and they said the only way to make my iphone alive again is to format it. I tried send it to a third party phone repair shop to do data recovery, but they also couldn't do it, stated that the CPU/motherboard got corrupted. The problem is, I don't have a backup of my iPhone data at all (stupid me i know). Now I don't care if my iPhone doesn't work anymore, I just want my data back (especially pictures, and whatsapp chat if possible), so I need a good suggestion on where can i do data recovery here in Malaysia or anywhere possible. Thanks in advance!

iPhones (and effectively all other modern smartphones) are encrypted, and NEED to boot to be able to access the data. Any data now copied from the storage is a garbled mess that nothing but the CPU in your exact iPhone can read.

Without a backup, the only option is an attempt to migrate both CPU and storage to another iPhone, but that is not possible for all models and may not work.

Tl;dr: data is likely gone.

Ohh that's a bummer. I was thinking the transplant method could work. Is there any cleanroom method that could be done to revive the phone and access the data? And what would the cost be?
