Is there a way to sync my iPhone to laptop and use an apple keyboard with the phone simultaneously?

Touch screen doesn’t work after being water damaged. I just want to backup my information onto a laptop to restore into a new iphone but cannot do so without hitting “trust this computer.” I’ve been navigating the phone with an apple keyboard with voiceover turned on but cannot attach a sync cable and keyboard at the same time. What are my options?

I don’t have access to one at the moment. I’ve tried one splitter but it seems it’s only good for audio and syncing/charging at the same time; the keyboard did not work with it so I returned it. In all the browsing I’ve done, it seems all the splitters are good for just that. If there is a splitter on the market that allows for keyboard and sync/charge then I’d need a link to it.
