Recovering AirDropped Photos After Source iPhone Factory Reset.

I recently purchase Iphone 17 pro max, I went to my friend's wedding and shoot photos with it. Now I airdrop photos from my new phone to old phone (Iphone 12 Pro Max) but before airdrop completes I forgot and reset the Iphone 17 Pro Max for setup. So Air drop stops arround 95% but now no data is coming in my old IPhone and also I didn't login my Apple ID in new Iphone. Is there any way I can recover any data from either my new or old IPhone?

Please tell me if it is possible because those photos are really important for me.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18

No. not sure why you would reset your phone without checking if it finish, it gives you the progress of the airdrop.
