transfer data from iphone with broken screen

I bought a new iPhone because my other screen is broken, it still works, but you can't really see anything (malfunctions). Can I still transfer data from this iPhone to my new one even if the screen is broken?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Doubtful. In order to do a data transfer phone to phone, both phone have to screens which operate. Hopefully, you've been backing up your iPhone before catastrophe struck, because you can set up your new phone from an iCloud backup.
