iPhone 13 Help Please!!

[Cerea7ki77a]

Hey everyone,
So my best friends son was in a motorcycle wreck a few days ago. Unfortunately, he passed away just a few hours after getting to the hospital, he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
When the police released his belongings to his mother (my best friend), his cell phone was there. She would like to be able to get the photos off of his phone, she’s hoping to have as many pictures of her son as possible. However, the phone is really busted, but it does vibrate when plugged in although the screen is completely destroyed.
Does anyone know a good program that can extract the photos from the iPhone? Will we need his passcode? We do have it. I don’t think she knows his iCloud info though.
Please if you can think of something, please reply.
Thank you.

If the phone isn’t operable, iCloud is the way to get the photos.

USB flash drive from Amazon?

If he had iCloud Photos enabled then you can just sign into iCloud.com, then into their account, and all of their photos/videos will be there. You can even download them ^-^ You said you probably didn't have the info, it doesn't hurt to check to make sure.

But if you absolutely don't know their iCloud info, I'm not sure how to help.

Also, I'm sorry for your/their loss

I’d suggest putting the phone aside, and having the family work with Apple to gain access to his iCloud. That will take some time; they’ll need to provide documentation as next-of-kin to get that access.

If that gets them the photos they’re looking for, then the phone itself can just be recycled. If for whatever reason he wasn’t uploading photos to iCloud, THEN get someone to look at the phone.
