![]() ![]() But, you won't have the keyboard plugged in when you're connecting to your computer/iTunes.ugh! ![]() I bought the adapter last week, entered my passcode to test it and thought "aha! fixed!" except then I remembered that to connect your iPhone to iTunes on a computer for the first time, you still need to press the "Trust" button on the iPhone when you connect to iTunes. If you go this route, I would use as plain/boring a wired USB keyboard as possible, so that you minimize the amount of power the keyboard wants to pull through the USB cable and lightning adapter.īut wait! Before you buy a lightning to USB adapter to enter your passcode via keyboard, we need to consider the end goal here. I was able to press spacebar to get to the lock screen, and then entered in my passcode with the number keys! Here's a link to the specific Lightning to USB adapter I bought on Amazon for $14 USD. I bought a lightning cable to USB adapter, and plugged in my very simple Dell USB keyboard into my iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 11.2.6. So this method of PIN entry will not work on iOS 11.4.1 or later. Please note that as of iOS 11.4.1 and later, Apple requires a passcode for new USB devices. We had one commenter (thanks Josh!) suggest trying a lightning adapter and plugging in a wired USB keyboard, so we tested the method out! We've had many comments asking us if there's any other workarounds to enter a passcode on a completely broken iPhone screen. To turn off VoiceOver, you can say “Turn off VoiceOver” to Siri, or go into Settings > General > Accessibility to turn it off manually. Copy your photos and/or make your backup in iTunes!.After the iPhone unlocks, you may need VoiceOver one last time to tap “Trust” in the dialog that comes up when you plug in your iPhone to your computer.When the cursor is on the next passcode number you need, double tap to “tap” the selected passcode number.VoiceOver will also say the button being selected, which is helpful if you can't see the screen. Use the portion of your screen that responds to touch to swipe left and right, which will move your VoiceOver cursor to different passcode number buttons.Or just plug it in to your computer via USB to trigger the trust dialog. On an iPhone X/XS/XR/11, if this brings up Apple Pay, instead swipe up as you normally would and leave your finger there until Siri says “Lift for home”. Press the Home button twice to bring up the passcode screen.Hold down the Home button to activate Siri.How to enter your passcode on a cracked iPhone screen: ![]() If you can’t see anything, VoiceOver should help too, since Siri reads the button text as the cursor moves. (This post is from an older phone so it talks about slide to unlock, but instead we should just need to tap the home button twice to get to the passcode screen.) I found this tip buried here in the Apple Support community forums. ![]() With VoiceOver on you can use any portion of the touch screen that works to move a “cursor” around and double tap to “tap” where the cursor is. If some small portion of the touch screen still works, you should be able to use that working section of the screen to slide around in VoiceOver mode thankfully, you can turn on VoiceOver with Siri while the iPhone is locked. But, if you haven't plugged your iPhone in and completed the “Trust” dialog with your computer before, you'll need to enter your iPhone passcode (or Touch ID if possible) to unlock your iPhone and make your first backup in iTunes.īut what if your iPhone screen is cracked in a way where some or most of the screen doesn't respond to touch so you can't tap some of the passcode numbers? What if your iPhone screen is broken such that you can't enter the passcode? If your iPhone screen is broken, you likely want to plug it into iTunes to make a backup and copy your photos before getting a replacement screen or new iPhone. ![]()
