Does this sound salvageable for someone without experience?

Yesterday I accidentally dropped a 15 kg dumbbell from about 5 cm onto the back of my iPhone 11 Pro Max while it was lying on the ground. At first I thought it'd had worse things happen to it, but after a short sinpection I realized the screen is completely dark. There is no scratch on the phone but the screen won't turn on. I later realized that notifications still came through to my watch and haptic feedback still seemed to work.
That was yesterday, though. Today it's still completely dark, doesn't make a sound, doesn't seem to charge either (it's not even getting warm).

I've only ever replaced a button on an old smartphone and that one wasn't even glued. I quite patient, decent with a regular soldering iron and have a steady hand but I have no experience working on micro electronics and would need to get a bunch of tools first, I suppose.

I don't care too much about the phone but I'd like to at least get the data off of it. Is that feasible for someone with little to no experience or should I call a shop and hope they don't scam me out of my retirement's savings?

Yesterday I was pretty optimistic but since it's completely dead today I'm thinking it might be more than just a broken screen. Especially considering the damn dumbbell didn't even hit the screen but the back side. Did I mention there's a faint rattle when I shake it?

European market synthetic sleeping bags

Pretty much what the title says. Synthetic because I'm vegan and would rather carry a few grams more than compromise on that principle. I'd be up for a synthetic quilt, but we're sharing a 2P pad (Exped Ultra 6.5R) and I don't think attaching it to a 2P pad works.

I'm thinking 5 °C / 40 °F should be fine, since we're going in july (average temps between 10 - 25 °C). Can anyone recommend any decent-ish sleeping bags? Most models seem to be around 1 kg / 2,2 lbs, but I also see plenty that weigh way more and some even less.

And as mentioned in the title, products available in the European market appreciated; I could go hunting for American brands, but prices would be marked up quite a bit. Given the number of established European outdoor brands, I'm assuming there must be some good alternatives that just don't get discussed as much on Reddit because of its largely American user base.

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!
