How to bypass trust on broken iPhone/iPad screen

If you want to restore your iPhone/iPad with a broken screen, you can bypass the "trust" step" by putting it in "DFU" mode which is a recovery mode. To do so, connect it to your computer with a usb cable, then you have to press both home and power button for 10 seconds then release power button for 5 seconds. You'll then be able to backup/restore your device!

iPhone damaged - how to log on to a new device My grandson's iPhone has been damaged to the extent that the screen cannot be read. He has an Apple ID, but when trying to log on on another device (on MacBooks) the verification code necessary to authenticate the second device is being sent to the iPhone, which cannot be read.
