How to back-up a broken phone?

The front of my IPhone XR is completely smashed but the phone itself seems to still turn on (when I press the on button the screen sort of lights up, you can kind of see it in the picture - bottom left corner of phone). I tried connecting it to my macbook but it keeps disconnecting over and over again. Even when it does connect I have to approve the connection on the phone and obviously the screen doesn't work. Is there anyway I can restore my photos, contacts, apps? Can I get that data back on a new phone?
