Data Transfer from an iPhone with a Broken Screen
A broken iPhone screen is one of the most common situations where users want to transfer their data to a new device. Whether you're planning a screen repair or switching to a new model, at Viper Mobile we provide fast and secure transfer of all your data — even when the touchscreen is unresponsive or the display is completely unreadable.
Specific Challenges with Broken Screens
iPhones with broken screens present unique challenges for data transfer. On models with LCD screens (iPhone 8, SE 2020, iPhone 11), partial use of the device is often still possible even with cracks. However, OLED screens (iPhone X and newer models) can completely stop displaying an image after damage. An additional problem is Face ID authentication on newer models — if the sensors aren't functional, accessing data can be difficult.
Transfer Methods Depending on the Extent of Damage
Our technicians assess the condition of your device and choose the optimal transfer method:
1. Partially Functional Screen
- Using visible portions of the screen for navigation
- Connecting an external keyboard for easier access
- Mirror options for displaying on an external monitor
2. Completely Non-Functional Screen
- Direct memory access via diagnostic ports
- Using previously trusted computers
- Specialized software for screen bypass
3. Combined Damage
- When the motherboard is damaged in addition to the screen
- Application of advanced micro-soldering techniques
- Temporary component replacement to gain access
Step-by-Step Transfer Process
The first step is always a security check — we determine whether Touch ID or Face ID are functional. Then we proceed to create a complete backup of your device. For iPhone models with LTPO screens (13 Pro and newer), we pay special attention to ProMotion settings and HDR content that requires specific handling during transfer.
The standard price for data transfer from an iPhone with a broken screen is 5000 dinara. This price includes full diagnostics, creating a backup, and transferring to a destination device of your choice.
What If You Also Want a Screen Repair?
We offer many clients a combined service — data transfer along with screen repair. In that case, you can save both time and money, since both procedures are performed simultaneously. This is especially practical for models with True Tone and Night Shift functions, where calibration of the new screen is required.
Important Notes
Before visiting the shop, we recommend that you:
- Do not attempt to "rescue" data yourself using inadequate methods
- Do not use the phone if you notice additional damage
- Bring your Apple ID passwords and passwords for important apps
- Keep in mind that transfer time ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours
