How to transfer data from my old iPhone to new iPhone without recovery key

I lost my iPhone 12 pro max 2 weeks ago and don't have my recovery key set up. I now have an iPhone 13 pro max and don't know if I can transfer all my contacts and data across. Can this be done or have I lost everything? I got told to contact you experts at the community team who help so much

Transferring data from broken iPhone SE to iPhone 10S using Apple ID I am not that knowledgeable in Apple devices so I really need help to understand this process. Recently, my iPhone SE broke and cannot be opened anymore. I know it’s Apple ID password and email (?) I also just got my father’s used iPhone 10S already connected to his Apple ID but he changed it to my previous phone number because he got a new iPhone 17 from which he has all his data from his iPhone 10S transferred. Now, I need help transferring all my data (?) from my old iPhone SE to this iPhone 10S. I want pictures, contacts, etc. back. Is this possible, and how? Was there anything that had to be “backed up” from my iPhone SE? Do I need one of those wires that connect from one phone to computer to other phone for the data? Help!

You can try and login with your Apple ID on your new iPhone. If you have your trusted phone number avaliable, you can archive this without having access to your recovery key. Make sure to change your Apple ID password tho
