phone was run over on the freeway so cannot see anything on screen, but phone turns on and rings when called. Is there anyway to back up the info/apps/date on the phone so I can then download to new phone?

Sync Through iCloud:

Sign in to the same Apple ID on the new iPhones, and then enable all items in iCloud Settings. If these were synced in the old iPhone's settings, then all should presumably transfer between the two iPhones. In the long run, all should be accessible, given they are associated to the same Apple ID.

  1. Click: Settings
  2. Tap: your Name (top item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Particular Items (so that it is green)


Check iCloud:
