Broken iPhone and no iTunes Hi there, I have MacBook which is updated to Big Sur. My partner broke his phone, iPhone 8 and wanted to back the data up on my laptop before he gives it to repair. I know you can back up iPhone through iTunes, but new update of the system got rid of iTunes. When I plug the phone through cable it is not found by my laptop. I must say that the screen is completely shattered so there's no way of even navigating the phone. How can I back up this iPhone? Thanks

You can't. You will have to rely on the last backup you did.
