Trust this computer

I am trying to retrieve photos/data from an old iPhone. The phone turns on and is recognised by my computer, unfortunately for it to sync I need to select the trust this computer option. I can’t do this as the screen isn’t working. Any help would be much appreciated

Broken screen iPhone, trust computer Hi, I have broken my iPhone and have pictures on the phone that I want to keep. Sadly I only have them on the phone. Trying to connect it to a Mac computer that it has never been connected to. Its an old iPhone 4s. I need to press "Trust" on both computer and phone. But I can not do it on the phone because the screen is dark, broken. But the phone is alive. Find it on "Finder". Can I somehow connect the both devices and continue past this "trust" step? Thanks for any help! best regards Marcus

If the screen won’t accept input, there is no way to trust the computer. There isn’t any way to backup to iCloud either without being able to get into the settings.
