How Can I Recover Data from My Broken iPhone 12?

You might want to check your iCloud account. If you have automatic backups enabled, your photos and files could already be saved there! If not, unfortunately, you will likely need to get the phone repaired enough to retrieve the data.

Are you talking about a broken display? If that's the case, it could be easier to fix just the screen. Once it's functioning, you can log in and back up your data like usual. If the internal parts are damaged, though, you'll definitely need professional help.

I used to help clients by connecting their phones to temporary screens to extract data. If your phone's motherboard is still intact, there's a good chance your data is safe. I'd recommend visiting a local repair shop; they might be able to get the data off for you.

If you've backed up your iPhone before, check out the iCloud website. You might be able to restore your data from there. If that doesn't work, consider using third-party recovery software like Disk Drill or EaseUS. Just be careful with how you approach the recovery since it can get tricky if you're not familiar with it.
