I don’t suppose anything a bit less-serious is available to normies?
I have a iphone that died on vacation and was set to backup only on WiFi (I’ve since changed that setting, haha, whoops) and has a couple days of photos stuck on it that weren’t backed up. It boots and makes noise but the screen is dead. Uncertainty about how broken it is has kept me from paying the not-cheap cost to get a screen replacement, and I haven’t found a way to read its data over a cable without unlocking via the screen first (which doesn’t work, and its touch-sensing capacity also seems to be dead, so blind input doesn’t do it, or else I could probably unlock it with a couple tries and get it to connect to WiFi it already knows and do its backup, but it won’t do that without being unlocked)
