Have you recently purchased a new iPhone? You’ll most likely want to move all of your applications and settings from your old iPhone to your new one. There are several options, and we’ll walk you through each of them. As a consequence, you’ll have the identical iPhone as before, complete with all of your data and applications. It will be a new, more attractive, and powerful device at the same time.
There are three ways to transfer everything from your old iPhone to your new iPhone:
- If your old iPhone is running iOS 11 or later, you may just place both devices close to each other to set up your new iPhone automatically.
- You may make an iCloud backup of your old iPhone and use it to set up your new phone. You don’t need to connect your iPhone to a computer; all you need is a Wi-Fi connection.
- Make an iTunes backup on your Mac or PC. Then, to transfer your data, you’ll need to connect your new iPhone to the same computer.
