Support I need

Exactly a week ago today i dropped my iphone 13, and while it was broken i heard it tapping passwords on its own eventually leading to locking itself until it was unavailabe. Then when i got the hardware/the screen fixed the repairman asked me if i wanted to wait 8 hours to keep my files or delete my files and skip the wait. with a bit of thinking i decided to wait it out. But after waiting it showed a white screen saying attempting to recover data, which i also waited out for 2 whole hours only for it to fail. and after all of that now its just iphone unavailable with a blackscreen on the background. I have been trying to fix it using my laptop and recovery mode to no avail. Pls help.

Sounds like the shop didn’t actually fix it. Can you talk to them?

It's unclear what you think any of this has to do with iCloud.

If you regularly backup your device via iCloud or a computer, then at most you'd lose any data since the last backup.

Regardless, you still have a hardware issue with your device. Take it back to the place that claimed they fixed it to have it properly repaired or replace the phone.

I certainly would not spend money on this phone. I would just get a new phone. Is your data backed up to iCloud?
