iphone data back-up

My iphone 12 Pro's port is not working and my iTunes download was full a couple of year's ago. Is there a way to save my contact info, photos, and other data to my PC?

Contacts: Sync to your email account. So if you install the same email account on your PC your contacts will come along for the ride.


Photos: There are several ways.


The easiest is iCloud Photos. If you don’t have enough iCloud storage you can buy more; go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud/Manage Account Storage. You can sync your photos to iCloud by turning on the Photos switch, then install iCloud for Windows from the Microsoft Store.


There are many 3rd party options:

  • emailed, texted or messaged the photos to yourself
  • Apple Photo Stream
  • Sync to Google Photos
  • Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
  • Sync to Dropbox
  • Sync to box.com
  • Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
  • Sync to Amazon Photos
  • back up to Livedrive
  • Backup to any other backup or archiving service
