Hello, I shattered my iphone recently and my front screen is not working. My new iphone is here in front of me and I would like to back up data from my old phone to put on my new phone. However, this is difficult as I cannot open my old iphone because of the screen. What can i do to back up my data from my broke phone and transfer it to my new phone?
Thank you
iPhone XR, iOS 13

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
If you back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you’ll have a copy of your information to use in case your device is ever replaced, lost, or damaged.
Backups must occur before catastrophes. After a catastrophe, it’s too late.
That would be like purchasing automobile insurance after a collision, or buying life insurance after someone dies.
