I'm having trouble backing up all my data from my iPhone because my Apple ID is permanently locked, and Apple won't give a reason for it. I have an older iPhone, and although I have a newer phone, I still want to transfer the data from the old one to the new one using a different Apple ID. Does anyone know how I can get my data off the old phone?

Just a heads up, if your Apple ID is locked, it might be due to violating some of Apple’s rules. You should check their support documentation for more info. Here’s the link to the guide that might help: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102640
You’ve got a few options here. First, you can keep waiting and see if Apple changes their mind. Alternatively, you could visit an Apple Store (make sure to book an appointment beforehand) since they might assist you better than regular customer service. Another method is to download your data directly to a computer using iTunes, or you could even use a USB stick designed for transferring data from your phone. Apple places a strong emphasis on security, so keep that in mind!
Also, there’s a tool called Apple Device Manager specifically for backing up iPhones locally. It’s pretty efficient if you need to access your data.
