My iPhone 13 screen is completely destroyed and I cannot access the phone to conduct a backup. What are my options?

So my 13's screen is completely destroyed. It has zero touch function. I'm attempting to do a backup, but can't finish because my Mac want's me to unlock my phone. I've opened it in recovery mode hoping that it would just open but that didn't work either. Now unfortunately it wants me to unlock my phone in order to use the usb accessory. I'm using a genuine Apple usb cable just in case anyone was wondering. Am I totally screwed. Fortunately I did a backup 3 weeks ago but really want to do a more current backup. I don't have iCloud backup either.


How screwed am I?
