And how many times does it happen that your mobile gets damaged? We all keep our iPhone locked and at times when the mobile gets damaged, we are unable to access materials out of it. We all know that an iPhone screen cracked can’t unlock but only a few know the trick to enter phone passcode without a touchscreen.
When the screen of your iPhone gets broken what comes in the mind is that you must have taken a backup of your data inside it and as every iPhone user is aware of this can be done only by using iTunes which needs permission to be granted from your device which needs your lock screen to be unlocked first.
But due to screen damage, it becomes almost impossible to grant permission with the unresponsive screen and thus you are left with no choice but to forfeit.
