How to Recover Data from a Broken iPhone

Posted by Boey Wong / Jan 06, 2021 09:00

Hi, my iPhone 5s fell onto the floor and the screen smashed to pieces. Does anyone have any idea on how to recover the data? The phone was locked with a pass code and most file retrieving applications do require pass code before reaching data on it. It does get picked up by iTunes but it keeps asking for a pass code which I can't put in. Anyone have any idea on how to recover it? – Robert
