How to Transfer Your Data From an Old iPhone to a New iPhone (or iPad)
1 min read
Summary
If upgrading to a new iPhone or iPad the data from the old device can be transferred to the new one using Apple’s Quick Start facility or via iCloud, iTunes or a direct wired connection between the two devices.
Quick Start is the easiest option for direct transfers, but iCloud is beneficial if the old device is not available.
iCloud and iTunes are also good options for backups, with iTunes requiring a computer to undertake the transfer.
A direct wired connection is the fastest method, but the cables required vary depending on the model of iPhone being used.
With all methods apart from wired connection, it is vital to make sure both devices are charged during the transfer process to avoid interruptions.
It is also recommended to regularly backup data to avoid losing important information.
