When your iPhone needs restoring, don't forget to backup data on your broken iPhone first. Once it's restored, you can never get back the data on it, but only from the previous iTunes or iCloud backup (if you have one). Hence, as long as there is such a condition that you still can use iTunes/iCloud to backup your dropped iPhone, just do it immediately.
What if you can't use iTunes or iCloud to backup your iPhone XR, iPhone XS (Max), or any other iPhone model, or you just don't want to use either of the tools?
Then you need to use a professional third-party tool like dr.fone - Backup & Restore (iOS), which allows you to directly scan your iPhone and selectively backup the data out of your iPhone.
