You may have thought of buying an iPhone, or you already own it, and you must have wondered how to transfer data from an old device to a new one in the most flexible and easiest way possible, once, right? Well, you should know that Apple has made significant improvements in data transfer, and we’ll tell you other ways to take advantage of external software if you want. Go for it.
Quickly start passing data and configuring new devices
As we told you, Apple has improved data transfer between its devices, so with a quick start you only need to have both devices available. To use wirelessly, iOS 12.4 or later is required at the same time. Turn on the new device and place it near the old one with Bluetooth turned on at the same time.
Older devices will display a screen with options to use Apple ID and what attention do you want to use! If you want to transfer data, you need to use the same Apple ID on the old device.
The animation will appear on the new device, just center the image in the viewer on the old device (or verify manually if you can’t use the viewer) and follow the steps shown on the screen. It’s very simple!

iTunes transfer data
Before you start, you must know that iTunes contains almost all device data and settings, although it doesn’t include all of them. Some features you will not be able to transfer, such as data already stored in iCloud, iTunes and App Store content, etc. To transfer data between iPhone devices using iTunes, you need to back up your old iPhone so you can restore it to your new iPhone when you set up your new phone.
Make sure you’ve downloaded the latest version of iTunes on your computer and connected your old device to it so you can back it up. Click on the device and finally in the back up now. After the process is complete, you can turn on the new device and follow the setup steps until you choose to restore from Mac or PC, in apps and data. Now connect your new iPhone to the computer , click the tab Devices, and use that option to restore the backup you made to your old phone Restore a backup.
Finder to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone
If you’re a Mac user, you can already imagine that Finder is a good option for securely transferring data between iPhone devices. Since macOS Catalina, iTunes has been replaced by the Finder on your computer. Well, as you’ll see, these steps are very similar to using iTunes.
Connect the old iPhone to the computer and launch the Finder, when you recognize the device in the program, click Back Up Now. Then connect the new iPhone and start setup until you get to the setup screen. Where to restore apps and data from your Mac or PC you should choose and follow the instructions.
iCloud transfer data
Much like using iTunes or Finder, with iCloud we can backup and restore our old iPhone to move the data to our new device. This option is only available when configuring a new device. The dynamic is the same, from the device itself, the old one, we can activate the iCloud backup option and choose the files we want to sync. Then turn on the new iPhone and complete the initial setup by choosing to restore it from an iCloud backup. Finally, log in to the same iCloud account where the copy you want to restore is stored and select the relevant copy you want to move to install on the new device.
Apple offers up to 5GB of free iCloud storage, which is often exceeded with iPhone data. Users have to buy additional cloud storage, so it might not be the best option for migrating data to a new device.
