How to get photos off Iphone XS with broken screen

My phone screen has been bad but recently it finally broke and the screen just flashes green and brown. The phone still somewhat works because I get notifications. The main thing im worried about are my photos which almost all of them are unsynced, I checked iCloud and only the first 3 months of photos are saved. So is there any way to get the photos off the phone?

iPhone XS, iOS 18

Try the following if you have a Mac:


1 - connect your iPhone to your Mac via its USB charging cable.

2 - launch Image Capture.

3 - open the iPhone.

4 - if you can see the photos in your iPhone you can download all or selected picture from your iPhone to your Mac,






































































load the either to a folder on the Desktop (or other location) or directly into the local Photos library.
