With the advancement of technology, more and more people choose to replace their mobile phones. From the old iPhone to the new iPhone 15, there are a few steps you need to be prepared to make sure that all your data is migrated with you. Here are the detailed steps and precautions.
If you choose a brand new iPhone, it will be a brand new iPhone without any previous documents, settings, or email accounts. If you're using a smartphone for the first time, it's totally fine. But if you used to use an Android phone, now with Apple's Android app "Move to iOS", it will bring you more convenience.
However, usually when changing to a new iPhone, we want all the data, settings, etc. to be migrated with it, such as important data such as **, wallet card, etc., as well as a series of settings such as focus mode and ringtone. This can be tedious because we need to back up our phones, migrate them, and so on.
In general, you need to back up the data on your old phone and then transfer it in the settings of your new phone. If you have an Apple Watch that has been paired with an old iPhone, then it is time to disconnect it. Don't worry about your Apple Watch being thrown away or damaged, you just want to use it on your new iPhone, and achieving this requires a complete and fast transfer of data.
Whether you are updating to the latest iPhone 15 model or upgrading from an older model to an iPhone 15 Pro Max, make sure your old phone has been upgraded to the latest version of iOS.
Apple Insider provides a detailed backup guide that you can follow, especially regarding the choice of backup to Mac or iCloud. To put it simply, there's almost no difference between the two in the current version, so you should back them up. Apple recommends using the fast boot method recommended by Apple's system for backup.
When you are ready to start the setup of your new iPhone, just put your new iPhone next to your old iPhone and the two phones will recognize each other. The setup process that follows is as simple as pairing with AirPods. Your old iPhone will ask you if you want to use your current Apple ID to set up your new iPhone, just confirm it.
Once you have completed these steps, you will see a prompt that says "Done on your new iPhone". Next, you can choose "Other Options" to transfer data via iCloud backup or Mac backup. If you have chosen Mac backup, then simply connect your new iPhone to your Mac and follow the instructions.
Whether it's data transfer from old iPhone to new iPhone or transferring data via iCloud backup, the end result is that your new iPhone has all the data of your old iPhone. While this process may take some time to complete, once it is done, you will be able to use it normally on your new phone.
Finally, don't forget to pair your new iPhone's Apple Watch!
