how to back up broken iphone
« on: March 10, 2021, 08:22:50 PM »
iphone x got damaged in water, screen is black and when connecting to computer the iphone is not recognized probably because i cant trust the computer by putting in the phone code, but maybe the phone is really broken, although when i put the phone to vibrate with the slide button on the side the phone does vibrate and when i slide up on the screen it also vibrates... theres alot of pictures on the phone that i dont want to lose... is there anything i can do to get them? any help would be appreciated!

Try changing the screen, since it responds to the vibrate command it seems that the main components are ok and only the screen is damaged.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I don't really know how iCloud works, but if you download whatever is on iCloud and then delete it, would new photos be automatically uploaded now that there is available space?

I would suggest you get google photos which gives 15gb free space and can upload in high quality until June of this year after that it’s capped at certain amount I think.
Point is google photos keeps pic safe and not rely on ur device
