How to transfer photos from an iPhone with a broken screen to Mac Hello, I am wondering how to transfer photos and other files from an iPhone to my mac when the iPhone in question has a broken screen. I am not able to access the screen, although the phone is still alive. I have tried to use Siri's voice command option (to trust the MacBook) to no avail. I was wondering if there was an application I could use or if it's possible at all. More information: the phone hasn't trusted this MacBook before I don't have anything on the cloud the iPhone still makes a noise when I charge it, and the power button still works The touchscreen is completely broken, and I am not able to view the iPhones screen I have a mac and all the nessisary cables for a regular data transfer I am happy to provide more information if nessisary. Any help is appericated.

Retrieve data without unlocking the phone I broke the touchscreen on the top half of the phone. My last backup of the phone was from December and I would therefore like to retrieve the data from the phone if possible... but I can't unlock it because of the broken screen. Is there a way to transfer the stuff on the phone to my mac or to a new phone (maybe with quick start)?

You will have to repair your screen since it will require you to unlock it using your PIN/Touch ID when you sync. Other alternatives doesn't exist since your iPhone is by default encrypted.

You are also sure that you don't use iCloud on your phone and can access your photos that way for now?
