Back up without iphone working

My phone has water damage that's seeped through cracks on the back of the phone and it is not turning on past the restore screen. I've followed the restore directions and it has not worked. I have also requested a replacement which is on it's way but I am unable to open my phone to back it up.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

My phone got bad water damage and turns on but then powers itself iff after after 3 minutes, I need to backup my phone so all my things will transfer to my new phone, but my current phone shuts off before the backup is complete. Advice? My phone got bad water damage and turns on but then powers itself off after about 3 minutes, leaving me no time to complete the backup. I need a way to transfer my info/apps/photos to my new phone from my broke one without it taking as long as the backup usually does. Is this possible?

Water damage screen unresponsive Hi, my phone got dropped in water and the screen turned green and now it is a mixture or green tones and totally black however the phone is still working and I can still receive messages etc but the screen is totally unresponsive. iCloud hadn’t backup up so now I am desperate to find away to unlock my phone so it will connect to the Wi-Fi and back up. Because the phone restarted it needs the passcode - which I can’t input because of the unresponsive screen. I have tried using a usb connected to keyboard but it needs me to select - ‘trust device’ which I can’t do, same issue when I connect to a computer. It’s really frustrating as all I need to do is find a way to put the code in to have my iCloud back up automatically. Does anyone have any solutions or know if there is any way to accomplish this? Many thanks in advance

You won't be able to back up the phone. Hopefully, you have a recent backup of the phone that you can use to restore data to the replacement phone.
