Backup iphone broken screen, can't trust the computer

I have an iphone 13 pro that I really did a number on the screen and it doesn't even turn on. I was going to back the phone up before I go in to have the screen repaired but there doesn't appear to be a way to trust my computer without the screen working. Are there any workarounds?

How do I backup my iPhone when the front screen is damaged and it's asking me to enter my passcode and trust computer? its the same computer I plug it into all the time with the same Apple ID as my iPhone The front screen is solid white and im unable to do anything with my iPhone. When I try and back it up on my Mac it asks for a passcode which im unable to enter. im not sure why it even needs a passcode when this Mac has the same Apple ID as my iPhone and its the same Mac I use every time I back this same phone up to.

No. You’ll be unable to make a new backup
