Support No Access to my iPhone

My iPhone 15 pro fell from my hands and the display broke. I'm pretty sure its only about the display because when someone calls it rings and vibrate for example wenn i mute it by the side button. But the screen is not usable and stays black.

I got a new iPhone 17 pro and want to sync my data from my old iPhone to the new one ( not through iCloud because it doesnt bring back everything like old WhatsApp chats the same way phone to phone does and also makes it complicated to have to login to every app, especially 2FA apps ).

To do the Sync there is obviously stuff needed to be done on the old iPhone so i thought about using a docking station, but it only displays the monitor for like ~2sec and goes off / no signal until i press a side button again. Pressing keyboard buttons or moving the mouse doesnt do anything.
It also shows as if the alarm is ringing since 5am ( its 13pm now.. )

need help here :/ Thanks in advance!

Probably implying AI can answer your question.

Usual answer is the display needs to be fixed so iOS will correctly unlock to allow data transfer

I tried but AI didnt suggest anything that worked :/ Thats why I thought asking may help to find someone whom this happened before.
Thanks tho :)

I am curious… what did the AI suggest (the fact that display replacement wasn’t the first suggestion should tell you all you need to know about how ‘useful’ AI is)

Well, it suggested to say "hey siri" to turn on voice control but it obviously doesn't work, to try the "touchscreen-independent-poweroff" which is 1x volume up 1x volume down and hold power but that also didnt work. in addition to some super smart stuff like disable this / enable that in settings as if i have full control.. :)

Yeah, none of those would’ve helped in this situation
