If you want a second opinion, Bob Timmons is absolutely correct. If they weren't backed and the device they were on is broken, there is no where to get them back from. Backups MUST happen before catastrophe strikes. Make sure you upgrade your iCloud Storage plan for your new iPhone.
Buy iCloud+ or upgrade your current storage plan - Apple Support
The value of backups is only known when you need them. Without access to the device or a backup, then those photos are lost.
Sorry, but if a device is not operational, you won't be able to retrieve or recover anything from the device.
I assumed so but thought I’d check. Thanks!
How can I recover photos from a damaged iPhone?
