If your phone is broken you don't always have the option to do that.

  Won't iCloud lost mode and remote erase mostly accomplish that? Not sure how many photos are cached on the phone in off-line mode, but that would remove icloud photo access at least.

    Fine advice if you already had your phone entirely backed up before it broke. But if your phone's broken and you know you don't have complete backups, I can understand being hesitant to hit the remote wipe button.

      Yeah, regular backups is a must.
