iPhone 13 Pro Max LCD broken: repair cost & photo access

I dropped my iPhone 13 pro max and the LCD screen is broken. I can still use the touch screen but won't anything. How much would it cost for the replacement? And is there a way to access some files on my Photos app?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

The price for a new iPhone 13 Pro Max screen in the US is $329. This assumes there is no other damage. You can schedule a screen replacement at your Apple Store Genius Bar --> iPhone Repair and Service - Apple Support


As to your ability to access files depends on whether you've been backing up your iPhone or at a minimum, syncing items like Photos to iCloud. If you have, you can go to www.icloud.com and sign in to your Apple Account where such files can be seen. But, if you haven't been backing up your iPhone, nor do you sync with iCloud, youre data will most likely be gone.
