Are any screens from older iPhone models usable with iPhone 13 Pro Max

I have a water damaged iPhone 13 Pro Max that killed the screen. The screen and the digitizer are both out. The phone is still functional and not stuck in a reboot loop, so I want to attempt data recovery. I do not have a trusted computer associated with the phone. To trust a computer and perform a backup, I need to enter the iPhone's passcode, and I cannot.

A replacement iPhone 13 Pro Max screen is cost-prohibitive; do any older iPhone screens work just to enter the passcode? I was hopeful that maybe an iPhone 11 Pro Max screen would have the right connector and let me enter the passcode.

Note: I am aware that an older screen will not fit on the phone. I only want an older screen for the sake of touch input.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The iPhone 12 Pro Max screen might work. Its basically exactly the same apart from the slightly bigger notch which shouldn't cause a problem. Do some research though before you buy it.
