Can I back up an iPhone that the front screen is damaged? My iPhone screen is completely damaged and I wish to back up my data before I start to use another iPhone. Can I back up the damaged phone as one would before uploading the info onto the new phone. If so, how do I go about it? Thanks
iPhone 8, iOS 15
You will have to get the screen repaired first. Tell the Apple repair shop you need the data in case they swap out the phone.
Always back up weekly to a computer or daily to iCloud before the disaster happens.
Unfortunately the replacement process seems to have made too many attempts at passcode.
Or it was disabled before you started.
You need a computer and the Apple ID password, but unfortunately it will wipe the phone
If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled

I have replaced the screen of my phone and now it comes up with the message 'iPhone is disabled - connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes, nothing happens. Please what can i do to get beyond this stage and save my phone data to iTunes or iCloud?
