How can I backup my unusable and frozen iPhone?

I dropped my iPhone X by mistake 3 days ago, and the screen is now frozen = unusable. Yesterday I bought a iPhone 11, but I still want my data from my old phone.

How is that possible when I can't lock it up?

In advance, thank you!

how can i keep the data or back iphone when screen is black ? My wife's iphone 7 dropped and the screen went black, girls usually just use the phone and know little about backing up and data proctection, how can i back up the device to icloud or a laptop, when i connect to itunes i get one option only thats for restoring to orginal setting and i will lose all data, how can i tell what was the last back up happened or how to back the iphone now which i believe is something hard to do. long story short, how to keep the data on the broken iphone.

Recover data from iPhone I have an iPhone SE (1st generation) and I’ve dropped it. The display now had dead pixels and touch screen is completely unresponsive. Any way to make a backup using iTunes without needing the touch screen?

IPHONE UNAVAILABLE - NOT BACKED UP - DESPERATE!!! I recently made my iPhone 11 Pro Max - "iPhone Unavailable" by entering the wrong password too many times. The screen is locked out, can't access anything but I can here all the notifications sounds going off and if someone calls I can answer but that's it. I also can see some of my phone messages via my Apple watch... I'm incredibly desperate to get the photos/videos/text messages off this phone, 3yrs of irreplaceable memories. My understanding is that I need to wipe the phone and then backup using iTunes or iCloud to retrieve the data again. The issue is that iCloud is turned off and has never been backed up to iTunes (I know, I'm a complete idiot!!!!!!!) How can I recover the data without wiping the phone, as its the only place the data is stored? The only solution at this moment I have found is a data recovery center that "maybe able" to recover the data for the small fee of $8000.00 (LUDICROUS!!!) I am VERY desperate though... Apple support tells me it has to be wiped, they don't have a recovery option but there maybe 3rd party options available they aren't aware of. If someone has a solution to safely recover this data, I'd love to hear from you [Edited by Moderator]

you just restore the last backup of the x to the 11

Yeah, but the backup on my computer is pretty old and iCloud backup is not turned on... therefore I want to make a new backup:)

Thanks for your help!
