Step 1 – Connecting Your iPhone to a Computer
The first step in authorizing your iPhone with a broken screen is to connect it to a computer using a lightning cable. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer before proceeding.
Step 2 – Trusting Your Computer
Once your iPhone is connected, you may need to unlock it using your passcode or with Face ID to enable communication with your computer. You should then see a prompt on your iPhone asking if you trust the connected computer. Tap “Trust” to proceed.
Step 3 – Accessing Your iPhone in iTunes
Open iTunes on your computer if it doesn’t open automatically. Look for your iPhone’s icon in the top left corner of iTunes and click on it to access your device’s summary page.
Step 4 – Authorizing Your iPhone
On the summary page, you will see an option called “Authorize this computer.” Click on it to initiate the authorization process for your iPhone with a broken screen.
Step 5 – Providing Your Apple ID
After selecting “Authorize this computer,” you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID and password. Fill in the required fields and click “Authorize” to proceed.
Step 6 – Completing the Authorization
Once you have entered your Apple ID and password, iTunes should complete the authorization process automatically. You will receive a confirmation message on your computer screen.
Step 7 – Ejecting Your iPhone
After successfully authorizing your iPhone, you can safely eject your device from your computer. To do this, click on the “Eject” button next to your device’s name in the iTunes sidebar.
That’s it! You have now authorized your iPhone with a broken screen. Remember, these steps can also be used for other purposes, such as backing up your device or transferring data from your iPhone to your computer.
