You have to confirm on your phone, if you can't, it won't allow access due to security reasons. Do you not have an iCloud backup you can restore onto a replacement/fixed phone?
Potentially if you can enable Siri and then in turn Voiceover, as you could use a combination of a USB wired and a Bluetooth keyboard to navigate your way through the iPhone and authorise the iTunes connection/backup.
Have tried this a long time ago on a iPhone 8 and it worked, albeit a pain in the rectum.

But thinking out a loud, HDMI adaptor with a keyboard attached may also work - can't say i've tried this though.

Edit - Quick Google returned this Apple Discussions thread where users mention the keyboard method - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5839619
Siri working but i have no idea what to ask it to do

I hate to be 'that guy' but for goodness sake, when you get your phone replaced, enable iCloud backup.
I think it was enabled, but I don't when the last time it did a back up

And the main thing which I wanted backed up was my contact numbers. But there only 4 of them on the icloud website when I looked :confused:
