Does iPhone Have a Device-Non-Accessible "Trash Bin" for Photos?

[MICHAELSD]

As many have I accidentally deleted the wrong photo a few minutes after taking it (with no backups).

Maybe iOS has a "trash bin" in that it only actually deletes the file when it needs space. This would mean that the file would exist on the phone but not appear to the user. Could this presumption be as probable as it seems?

Speaking of that, a phone in 2014 should have a way to restore accidentally deleted files if they're deleted right after their creation.

Nope, deleting it removes it from the phone immediately.

Depends on which version you are on. iOS 8 has a special album in the Photos app called "Recently Deleted" that holds your deleted photos for 30 days. You can recover from there. iOS7 and below do not have this.

What if you dont want them to stay there for 30 days?

You delete them from that special folder. You go into the folder and remove them, then they're gone immediately.
