Restoring contacts and photos

I just got a new phone, my old phone was broke so bad I cannot see screen. I’m having trouble accessing contacts and photos from old phone.

Without access to the old phone screen and passcode you cannot access and data on it.

Most people use iCloud or another email address for contacts, and you csn add that account to the new phone, but if your contacts were only on the old phone they are not accessible.
