If your old phone is broken and you can't receive your Apple ID verification code, try signing in on another device that's already trusted or get a text message or phone call with the code. If that's not an option, go to appleid.apple.com, click 'Forgot Apple ID or password?' and enter your Apple ID. You might be able to reset your password and sign in. If you've set up two-factor authentication, you could also use a recovery key or account recovery request if you can't access any of your trusted devices.
