iphone broke could not back up or use at all. took sim card out and set up new phone. realized my phone had not backed up since 2018. is any of my information still on that phone or is it gone

I dropped my iphone 8 and completely crushed it. It is no longer usable. It will power on and that is it. I could not back it up. I just put my SIM card in my wife's iphone 8 and realized my phone had not backed up since 2018. Is all of my information completely gone, example phone numbers, pictures, note, ect, that were in my old phone? if not , how do I get them off?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

There is no way to get data off a crushed phone. Secure Enclave requires the original hardware to be functional to get decrypted data back from the device. Even if the solid state memory modules survived intact, all anyone could get off them without the original intact function phone would be unintelligible encrypted gibberish.

Gone.

Backups should be weekly!
