How to Recover Data from Broken iPhone with or without Backup?

...

"My brother's iPhone 7 gets smashed up, and the screen is completely hopeless. I can't get it to respond on any part of the screen. I don't want to buy a screen for it, because I don't think it's worth it. The phone seems to work just fine otherwise, as far as I can tell on the lock screen and Siri. Is there some software I could use to bypass the password or extract the data?"
