"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?"

iCloud is a convenient way to back up data on iOS devices. If you have enabled the automatic backup feature of iCloud previously, you can retrieve data from broken iPhone from the iCloud backup. All you need is another iDevice.
Follow these tips to get data off a broken iPhone:
1. Erase your iPhone. Open Settings on your iPhone > Click General > Choose Reset > Tap Erase All Content and Settings and confirm your operation.
2. Restore data from iCloud backup. Once you have erased your iPhone, you can set it as a brand new device. Go to iPhone's Settings again, navigate to the Apps & Data screen, and select Restore from iCloud Backup. Then, choose the most recent backup file and hit Restore.
Note: To use this way, you will need to use another iPhone to access your broken iPhone data. If there isn't another iPhone available, you can select the first way to make a recovery.
If you have previously synced your iPhone to iTunes, you can also extract data from broken iPhone from iTunes backup. Note that this way may erase all the existing content on the target iPhone. If you don't want to cause any data loss, you can opt for the tool in part 1.
Here's how:
1. Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.
2. After the iPhone icon appears on the top-left panel, click it. Next, tap the Summary option at the left sidebar, and click the Restore Backup option under the Backups section.
3. Select the latest backup file and hit the Restore option.
Although you can recover data from a broken iPhone, you are recommended to back up your iPhone regularly. In this way, you will free yourself from trouble when your phone gets broken or misoperated. There are many methods to back up your iPhone. If you know nothing about it, you can refer to our instruction (See: How to back up and restore an iPhone with or without iTunes).
If your iPhone is severely damaged, you can contact Apple Support to get it repaired.
If your iPhone gets shattered, you'd better find a professional iPhone data recovery app to fast recover data from your broken iPhone. Coolmuster iPhone Data Recovery is what I highly recommend you to try. Compared with the other two ways, this easy, fast, and secure app does not require a previous backup file to make a recovery.
