Iphone disabled but I know the pin, is there anyway to unlock? The phone was never backed up to iTunes

If the phone is disabled , there is not a way around it.. or a way to recover your data

Hopefully you were syncing some stuff with iCloud.

You can try a recovery mode update first, instead of restoring. If the update doesn’t work you’ll need to restore and will lose your content.
