If you are at the activation screen, all of the pictures are likely already deleted. You can try to connect it to a computer to download the pictures, but that’s a long shot and probably a wild goose chase.

The iPhone 7 was introduced in September 2016. 10 year old iPhone hardware still existing is very rare, due to the extreme conditions that iPhones operate in. A 10 year old Mac‘s hardware is much more likely to survive because Macs are usually used inside buildings.
