Every year, the iPhone® gets smarter and better. If you chose to upgrade to a newer model, you should ensure that you don’t lose the data stored in your current phone. To make the data transfer process go smoothly, here’s what you should know.

3 Ways to Transfer Data from Your Old iPhone®

1. iCloud®

From your old device, tap the settings icon and look for iCloud®. You will see a drop-down menu with items that can be backed up. If the button next to it is green, then it means you intend to keep them. After, click Storage & Backup. Make sure that the iCloud Backup is switched on or colored green before pressing Back Up Now. Give it time to back-up before getting your new phone.

In the Set Up Your iPhone page, press Restore from iCloud Backup. Click next, fill in your details, and select the most recent backup. Finally, wait until the completion of the transferring process.

2. Computer & iTunes®

Connect your old device to a computer with an updated iTunes® using a USB cord. If iTunes doesn’t start automatically, open it on your computer. Under File, click Devices and then Backup to save the files you need. To check that the process was successful, press iTunes on the top of the page, go to Preferences and then Devices. Confirm that the recent one was the one backed up.

Next, disconnect your old device and place your sim card in the new one. When you turn on your new gadget, press Restore from iTunes Backup in the Set Up Your iPhone page. Connect your new device to your computer and open iTunes if it has not begun automatically. Again, under File, click Devices and then the recent backup from Restore From Backup. Allow the phone to finish the transfer.

3.  Quickstart & iPhone Migration Tool

If you have an iOS 12.4, you can choose whether to download data from iCloud or transfer it from your iPhone directly. By selecting the latter, you can transfer settings and data over Wi-Fi or a direct cable connection. Keep your gadgets close and ensure they are well charged to avoid disruptions to the data migration process.
