Can I connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone 5S while stuck on the lock screen? (Need answers ASAP)

It will most definitely work (hooking up a keyboard to your iPhone). Use a wired USB keyboard hooked up to a powered USB hub and hook that up to a USB to Lightning camera adapter. I have tried and used it. Sadly I couldn't get it to work on my 6s which had its screen go completely black. Can't get past the lock out and can't get to the photos. During my testing I used a 5s to test the keyboard setup and worked like a charm.

Connect the phone to iTunes. you should see an iPhone icon in the top bar:

Click on it, choose the iPhone if you have more than one iOS device, and the Summary screen will appear.

No. The iPhone does not support wired keyboards at all.

Yes. I'm serious. If it works for someone, that's nice for them. It is not supported.

You will notice that the product does not claim Made for iPhone certification...

If you were syncing your photos to iCloud you could download them to a computer by going to icloud.com

hi, i have the exact same problem. i have to do the exact same thing.

But may i just ask, how to manage to get ur phone connected to itunes on the computer w/o unlocking it?

Hi - I have an iPhone 5S and anything on the right side of the screen will not work so naturally I couldn't use all sorts of features. I spent a half hour on the phone with Apple just trying to reset the phone and remove all data (I got a new phone) but because I couldn't hit the "join" button on the right and add the Wifi, I was stuck with no ability to do anything since I couldn't log in or out without Wifi. They were unable to help me but I refused to give up and suddenly, I came up with an idea. I have a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad and the bluetooth was turned on on my phone so I synced my keyboard, typed in the password that way, hit the enter key and was able to turn on the wifi and reset the phone. I was able to use the Voice Over feature as suggested above to get further into the phone after I reset it. The right side still does not work but guess what I discovered? If you go into your iTunes "accessibility" settings and hit the ZOOM button feature, you can triple tap it with 3 fingers and it will zoom the screen and if you slide to the left with your 3 fingers, it moves the buttons and stuff on the right just far enough over that you can tap them and turn stuff on and off, or hit "JOIN", etc. It's a pain but it does allow you to use the phone again. Or....get a slide out QWERTY keyboard case from Amazon that definitely works with the phone. I have one that I used with this phone before and I need to find it so I can see if it will help me now. It's a little annoying, but it's better than not being able to use the phone at all. Hope that helps!

Wrong again, do your due diligence before you speak

You should do YOUR due diligence. How do you know what was available when Tim posted that reply OVER TWO YEARS AGO?
