How to Transfer All Data from an Old iPhone to a New iPhone

You can now easily transfer all your data from an old iPhone to a new iPhone faster than ever before.

Previously, your best options were to use iCloud, or a computer to transfer data from one iPhone to another iPhone.

But with iPhone 11 and 12, this process is much easier.

You simply need to hold your old iPhone and new iPhone next to each other and follow the transfer process which only takes a few steps.

Step 1: Back up your iPhone using iCloud.  We won't be using the iCloud transfer method, but we will do this for safety.

Step 2: make sure your new iPhone is on the hello page.  If it's not, you need to reset the phone to its original settings for the settings menu.

Step 3: Unlock your old iPhone. This will work for iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 12 mini.
Just make sure both phones have the same iOS or the new phone has a newer iOS.

Step 4: Scan the code that appears on your phone and follow the steps.

I wish we'd watched this video first before spending hours trying to set up the new phone. This is the one you want people.

Apple is so awesome... it only took hours of trial and error, several articles and FINALLY this video to transfer from one iPhone to another. Even 3 years later it still works

Thanks for the instructions. I waited too long the first time I watched the video to begin, so I am glad you talked about not to worry, and how to bring the transfer scan instructions back. Thank you.

I spent theeee ENTIRE day trying to transfer everything from my old phone to my new phone but to no avail UNTIL I searched and came across your video! Love you for this!

[sarareeves]

I greatly appreciated this video. I am 66 years old and depend on my children for all tech help. My old phone was on its last breath and no one was available to help me. Your video is very easy to follow. The only step you did not cover was an iOS update and that threw me. I had to start the process over. Thanks to your instructions, I was able to reset the phone and start over. I also I had to take out the SIM card of the old and put it in the new. I even had to look up a video for that. Fortunately, StraightTalk had one.

Thank you for this step by step video! Was so easy to follow and was able to transfer my content from iPhone 8 plus to iPhone 14 pro max with no problems. Thank you again!

Useful as usual. It saves a lot of time transferring. I remember a time when I spent the whole day transferring. Keep sharing value as I do on my YouTube.

[stephaniemoos]

Exactly what I needed. I spent an hour and 15 minutes on the phone with tech support with my carrier and they couldn't get me this info! Easy to understand instructions. Short and concise. Thank you!

[lilfruityvert]

Thank you so much for this video! It was confusing for me since I didn't know how the phone transfer worked from a sim to an eSim. This video was clear and concise, and super helpful.

[DanielleCooper-jgbe]

A wonderful, clear user-friendly video. I carefully followed your advice and instructions and had a successful transfer from my old phone to my new phone. Thank you so much for making the experience stress- free. I am eternally grateful.

[cogypsylady]

Thank you so much! I was literally in tears until I came across your video. You made it so much easier than the carrier’s “quick setup”.

[triariyani]

thank you so much, I was about to cry after spending the whole morning didn't know how to transfer to a new iphone. God blesses you

[OgheneovoAgwae-wtzl]

This was as clear as it gets. Extremely helpful. Cheers

[judybessette]

I love you. You are the only one who made sense and the easiest to follow out of 20 other videos I watched.

[blaze]

Always come back to these videos to remind myself as I only do this once every 3 or so years! Thanks for the very informative video.

[orsonkart]

A great video, with fluent commentary, clear visuals and precise instructions, that enabled this 73 year old pensioner to transfer all data and apps from an old iPhone to my wife's new one at the first attempt, many thanks, couldn't have done it without you. Happy New Year.
