You are a big fan of iPhone and you just bought a new iPhone 12/13. Then you are wondering how to transfer everything from your old iPhone to your new iPhone? So, this article is written for you.
Your current iPhone may have stored a lot of important data, such as photos, contacts, SMS, apps, settings, and so on. You may not want to give up these data and settings and start from scratch on your new iPhone and in fact, you don't have to. There are some ways that you can quickly transfer all data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone. This article will guide you on how to do it.
There are several ways to transfer all the data on an old iPhone to a new iPhone, and iCloud is one of them. iCloud is also the most commonly used iPhone data transfer solution because it does not need to rely on a computer.
1. Make sure your old iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, then go to Settings > Apple ID name > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
2. Toggle "iCloud Backup" ON, and then click Back Up Now. iPhone will immediately start uploading all data to iCloud.
3. Once you have the most recent backup of your old iPhone, go to your new iPhone to start transferring data.
Now let's start the data transfer from the initial screen of the new iPhone (that is, the screen that says Hello in different nation languages).
If you have already set up your new iPhone and get to the Home screen, first go to Settings > General and choose Erase All Contents and Settings to erase the new iPhone, then follow these steps to transfer data.
1. Open your new iPhone and choose your language and country. When you get to the Quick Start screen, tap Set Up Manually.
2. Connect to a Wi-Fi network, and then set up your Face ID and passcode. Of course, you can also set up them later after you get into the iPhone's Home screen.
3. Choose Restore from iCloud Backup, then sign in with your iCloud Apple ID which you use on your old iPhone.
4. After successful login, agree to the Terms and Conditions, and enter the password for the old iPhone to continue.
5. Choose the backup that contains your old iPhone data you want to transfer to your new iPhone.
6. Follow the remaining steps on the screen and iPhone will start restoring data from iCloud.
7. Make sure the new iPhone has enough power and wait for the data transfer to complete. It will take a few minutes and your iPhone will restart.
8. Once your new iPhone restarts, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and you will see the message "Restore Complete". Keep your iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and all your apps and settings will be downloaded in the background.
9. When the download is complete, everything on the old iPhone has been transferred to the new iPhone, excluding the iOS system of course.
