retrieving pictures from broken phone

The screen on my previous phone cracked really badly so that I can't use the touch screen at all. I wanted to download the pictures from that phone onto my laptop (pc) but I have to be able to unlock my phone to do this. Is there any way around having to interact with the old phone to retrieve the pictures?

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

There is no magic that can overcome broken hardware. Apple may be able to replace the screen without losing data, but there is no guarantee.
