Back up without iphone working

My phone has water damage that's seeped through cracks on the back of the phone and it is not turning on past the restore screen. I've followed the restore directions and it has not worked. I have also requested a replacement which is on it's way but I am unable to open my phone to back it up.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

You won't be able to back up the phone. Hopefully, you have a recent backup of the phone that you can use to restore data to the replacement phone.
