Between apps, photos, videos, contacts, documents and downloads, switching to a new iPhone means moving a large amount of data &#8211; and you don&#8217;t want to lose any of it in the process. Fortunately, Apple officially supports three fast and reliable methods to move data from one iPhone to another: <strong>Quick Start<\/strong> (device-to-device move), <strong>iCloud backup<\/strong>, and a <strong>computer backup<\/strong> via the Apple Devices app, iTunes, or Finder \u2014 and each strategy has its own requirements worth learning about before you get started.<\/p>\n<h2>What You Need to Start<\/h2>\n<p>You have to take a few steps before transferring photos or contacts from iPhone to iPhone:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unpair any devices:<\/strong> Unpair any devices connected to your current iPhone, like an Apple Watch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2024\/02\/26\/how-to-connect-your-airpods-to-your-iphone\/\">AirPods<\/a>, or other accessories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Back up your data:<\/strong> Once you&#8217;re finished using your current device and don&#8217;t plan to save any more files or contacts to the system, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2023\/11\/27\/how-to-backup-your-iphone\/\">back up the data you want to keep<\/a>. You can do this via iCloud, or by connecting your phone to a Mac or PC and creating a backup through Finder (Mac) or the Apple Devices app (Windows). Make sure you name the backup file something easy to identify and note the date you created it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know your account information:<\/strong> Make a note of all relevant login information, including your current device&#8217;s passcode, your Apple ID, and your Apple account password.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your iOS version:<\/strong> If you plan to use <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/HT210216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple&#8217;s Quick Start feature<\/a> to transfer data directly between devices, your existing iPhone must be running iOS 11 or later. Quick Start lets your new iPhone automatically copy settings and data from your old one wirelessly or via a wired connection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have the right cable ready:<\/strong> If you prefer a wired transfer, the cable you need depends on your devices. Transferring from an iPhone 14 or earlier to an iPhone 15 or later requires a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/muq93am\/a\/usb-c-to-lightning-cable-1-m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USB-C to Lightning cable<\/a>. Transferring between two iPhone 14 or earlier devices requires a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and a Lightning to USB Cable, along with a 12W or higher power adapter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transfer the SIM card:<\/strong> Remove and transfer the SIM card from your old device to your new one, if applicable. Many newer iPhones support <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/118669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eSIM<\/a>, so you may be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2022\/08\/09\/how-to-make-your-device-ready-for-international-travel\/\">transfer your carrier plan digitally<\/a> instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Using Quick Start<\/h2>\n<p>Most iPhones have Quick Start, a built-in feature that makes it easier to move data between existing devices. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/102659\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quick Start requires iOS 11 or later<\/a> on your existing device and uses your Apple ID and settings to restore content from a saved backup for easy wireless transfer. Let&#8217;s talk about how it works:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Turn your iPhone on and make sure Bluetooth is enabled.<\/li>\n<li>Place your current and new devices close to one another.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the Quick Start screen to appear on your new phone.<\/li>\n<li>Set up your new phone using the correct Apple ID and login information.<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8220;Continue,&#8221; then wait for the animation to display.<\/li>\n<li>Hold your existing device over the new phone and center the animation in your current phone&#8217;s viewfinder.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the phones to communicate and watch for a popup message saying &#8220;Finish on New [Device].&#8221; Select &#8220;Authenticate Manually&#8221; if your camera is broken or the viewfinder is inaccessible.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your current iPhone passcode on your new device if asked.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the listed steps to set up Face ID, Touch ID or both, depending on the model.<\/li>\n<li>Input your Apple ID and password on your new phone when prompted.<\/li>\n<li>Your new iPhone will now give you a choice between transferring data directly from one phone to another or restoring apps, data and settings from the most recent backup file saved to your connected iCloud account. Tap &#8220;Other Options&#8221; if you want to restore from a backup on your computer manually.<\/li>\n<li>Select your backup option and settings preferences, then wait for the process to complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Device-to-Device Migration<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/gazellethehorn.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/02-Device-to-Device-Migration-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/02-Device-to-Device-Migration-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/02-Device-to-Device-Migration-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/02-Device-to-Device-Migration-1-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/02-Device-to-Device-Migration-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/118387\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPhones running iOS 12.4 and later support device-to-device migration<\/a> built into Quick Start, which lets you move data directly from your old iPhone to your new one without relying on a backup.

To transfer between two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2022\/08\/25\/iphone-14-release-guide\/\">iPhone 14 or earlier devices<\/a>, use a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and a Lightning to USB Cable, and connect a 12W or higher power adapter during the transfer. To transfer from an iPhone 14 or earlier to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2023\/09\/26\/the-complete-iphone-15-release-guide\/\">iPhone 15 or later<\/a>, use a USB-C to Lightning Cable. Follow the same on-screen steps once the transfer icon appears.<\/li>\n<li>Choose which settings to transfer from your previous phone to your new one.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the devices close to one another while the transfer processes and plug them in if the battery starts to run low. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/117383\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transfer times vary depending on the type of connection, network quality<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2022\/06\/29\/how-much-phone-storage-do-i-need\/\">how much data you&#8217;re transferring<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Transferring Data From an iPhone to iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>Apple officially supports three ways to move data between iPhones: Quick Start (device-to-device), iCloud backup, and a computer backup via Finder, iTunes, or the Apple Devices app. Let&#8217;s talk about how each strategy works.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Transfer Data Using an iCloud Backup<\/h3>\n<p>iCloud makes it easy to save backups of your system and its files to move them faster to a new device. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>On your current device, go to &#8220;Settings,&#8221; tap your name, then select &#8220;iCloud&#8221; and tap &#8220;iCloud Backup.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Tap &#8220;Back Up Now&#8221; when you&#8217;re ready to transfer to your new phone.<\/li>\n<li>Turn your old iPhone off, remove the SIM card and place it in the new device if applicable.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on the new device and go through the setup process for connecting to Wi-Fi and signing in where necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Follow all on-screen prompts until you reach the &#8220;Apps &#038; Data&#8221; screen.<\/li>\n<li>Tap &#8220;Restore from iCloud Backup&#8221; and sign in to your iCloud account.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the correct backup file and wait for the transfer to finish.<\/li>\n<li>Restore apps and purchases by signing in with your Apple ID &#8211; you may need to log in multiple times if you used more than one account to download apps or content. You can save this step for later, but you will not be able to use those apps until you&#8217;ve signed in to the appropriate accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Stay connected to Wi-Fi while the progress bar finishes. The process could take an hour or longer depending on your data and network speed. Many apps and services may continue updating in the background over the following days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How to Transfer Data Using a Computer<\/h3>\n<p>You can move data via a PC or Mac with Finder, iTunes, or the Apple Devices app. Use a USB cable to connect your iPhone to the computer, then follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Enter your passcode and follow any on-screen prompts on your iPhone and computer.<\/li>\n<li>Open <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/108967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finder (macOS Catalina or later), iTunes (Windows or older macOS), or the Apple Devices app (Windows)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Select your iPhone when it appears in the sidebar or device list.<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8220;Restore Backup.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Check the list of available backup files for the most recent or relevant one, then click &#8220;Restore.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Wait while the restore finishes and enter a password if prompted. The device may restart multiple times. Do not disconnect anything until the sync process completes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>A Note on Wired Device-to-Device Migration<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to move data directly between two iPhones using a wired connection instead of relying on Wi-Fi, the cable you need can depend on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/2023\/11\/20\/best-iphone\/\">models you&#8217;re using<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>iPhone 14 or earlier to iPhone 15 or later:<\/strong> Use a USB-C to Lightning Cable to connect the two devices directly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two iPhone 14 or earlier devices:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll need a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and a Lightning to USB Cable. Apple also recommends using a <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread\/252083013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12W or higher power adapter<\/a> during this type of transfer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8UrN8XBP9PE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quick Start, which starts the device-to-device migration process, requires iOS 11 or later<\/a> on your existing device.
