You have stated that you have broken screen that is not working on your iPhone 7. You also have an iPhone 12 that you would like to transfer the data from your iPhone 7. You are not going to be able to directly transfer data from your iPhone 7 because you cannot see anything on its screen and therefore will not be able to unlock it and enter the authentication information.

What you can do is restore your iPhone 12 from a back up file created from your iPhone 7. This backup file can either be from iCloud or your computer. If you do not have a backup file then you will not be able to transfer data UNLESS you get you the screen fixed on your iPhone 7.
