If your photos were backed-up before the damage, (e.g. with iCloud's Automatic Backup) restoring photos to a replacement device will automatically occur during setup.


If they were NOT backed-up, the photos are irretrievable.


FYI, this is because the data on your phone is encrypted SPECIFICALLY to prevent it from being extracted and revealed if your phone is stolen.
