Their are two ways users can do this, and we’ll show you both.
1. Via iTunes:
- The below process is the same for both Mac and Windows.
- Plug in your old iPhone into a computer.
- Launch iTunes (if necessary).
- Find the iPhone icon either on the left side, or inside a button on the top of the window.
- Click on it.
- Select the SUMMARY option.
- In the BACKUP section, click the BACK UP NOW button.
- Wait for the process to complete.
Go through the set-up process on the new iPhone. When you get to the “Apps & Data” screen, select the “Restore from iTunes Backup” option. Follow the screens, and wait for the restore process to complete.
2. Via iCloud:
This process is faster only when connected to a WiFi Network for the backup process. To do this:
On the old phone:
- Go to Settings > Account & Passwords > [Your iCloud Account].
- Select your iCloud account.
- Scroll all the way down, select “iCloud Backup.”
- Make sure that the “iCloud Backup” option is switched to ON.
- Tap the “Backup Now” button.
- Wait for the backup to complete.
On the new phone:
Go through the set-up process on the new iPhone. When you get to the “Apps & Data” screen, select the “Restore from iCloud Backup” option. Follow the screens, and wait for the restore process to complete.
Hopefully the above will get you on your new iPhone in no time.
