That’s pretty much it....
I talked to an Apple repair expert and they are saying that you have to backup iPhone before sending it in for repair....as there is a chance of data loss, unfortunately the iPhone has 0% battery and contains lots of important data....
it’s charging port is damaged so I can’t charge it.
so is there anyway I can backup it......
the device is and iPhone 7 plus
thanks in advance

Prior to sending it for repair/replacement, is standard protocol for Apple to have you back up your device then and erase it, etc..
Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ready for service - Apple Support
In your case, there is no possibility to do so if you cannot charge the device.
I think, you'll just have to take that "chance" and hope there is no data loss during repair.
What about iCloud backups/syncs already done previously? Those, if done, count for something.
You could log on to iCloud.com and see what data is already synched there, to make sure how much of your "important data", if any is already on there!
In an extreme case and it is not foolproof either, but you could choose to replace the iPhone battery with an already charged one. This way your phone has enough power to be switched on and connect to iCloud for an iCloud backup. Then send it for repair (fix charging port).

If you can't charge it, then you're out of luck.
For future reference, you need to back up before something goes catastrophically wrong, not after.
thanks... I have not previously backed it up to iCloud......
I guess that I will just have to take that chance
lol yes
How can I backup iPhone when it’s charging port is damaged....?
