After updating to iOS 12.4, you will be able to directly transfer data from old iPhone or iPad to a new one with Quick Start. You don't need an iCloud backup for this, and now we'll explain why this is important.
The Quick Start feature first appeared in iOS 11. It is designed to easily transfer data from an old iPhone or iPad to a new one to eliminate unnecessary manipulations and make it easier to switch from one smartphone to another.
Just turn on new iPhone or iPad and put next to your current one, the settings and data from which you want to transfer. A prompt will appear on the screen to configure the new product. Your participation is almost not required for this.
Prior to iOS 12.4, Quick Start required an up-to-date iCloud backup. Now, after the update, this is optional: you can transfer the information directly. You can also use data from iCloud copies, if you want.
Direct transfer is more convenient if you don't use iCloud or don't have enough cloud storage space on your plan for backups. It is also interesting for the ability to restore a more up-to-date data set.
By default, data between iPhones is transferred wirelessly. But you can speed up the process by connecting smartphones with a Lightning cable using an adapter.
If you are using Apple Watch on watchOS 4 and above, you can also automatically transfer your watch data and link it to your new iPhone.
Step 1.
If you have already activated your new iPhone, clean it completely first. To do this, activate the function "Erase content and settings" in the menu "Settings"\u003e General\u003e

Step 8
On devices prior to iOS 12.4, you can only use backup from iCloud.
We give instructions using the iPhone as an example, but you can set up the iPad in the same way.
Step 1. Remove the SIM card from the old iPhone and insert it into the new one. To do this, you can use a special paper clip supplied with the device.
You can also use a new copy of the SIM card, which can be obtained from your mobile operator's shop.
If you have already activated your new iPhone, clean it completely first. To do this, activate the "Erase content and settings" function in the "Settings" - "General" - "Reset" menu and follow the instructions on the screen.
Step 2 Turn on the new iPhone and put it next to the old one.
On an old iPhone, a Quick Start menu will appear that looks like a setting AirPods. It will prompt you to set up your iPhone based on your Apple ID.
Step 3 If the Apple ID is correct, click on the "Continue" button. If it doesn't, cancel the operation, switch your ID through your old iPhone's settings, and start over.
If the corresponding menu does not appear, then you have Bluetooth data transfer turned off or you are using old version iOS. Fix it and try again.
Step 4 A special animation will appear on the screen of the new iPhone, which resembles a similar one during the binding of the Apple Watch. Align it with the viewfinder on the screen of your old smartphone.
If your old iPhone's camera is damaged and you can't use the viewfinder, select the "Manual Authentication" option and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 5 Enter the passcode of the old iPhone on the new one when a special request appears on its screen.
Step 6 Set up Touch ID or Face ID on your new device if you plan to use them, or skip this step.
Step 7 Enter your login and apple password ID on the screen of the new iPhone.
Step 8 Select the location, privacy, Apple Pay, and Siri data to be restored from iCloud and wait for the operation to complete.
Apple has long taught all its customers that every year after the presentation of the new iPhone, you should start saving money for its purchase. In general, in our time, people are increasingly changing their smartphones to newer ones. In this regard, the issue of transferring data from one iPhone to another is becoming increasingly relevant. We will talk about how to do this later in the article. Let's figure it out. Go!
In total, there are two ways to transfer information from one iPhone to another:
The first method is perhaps preferable because of its simplicity. First you need to transfer all the data from your iPhone to the iCloud cloud. Open Settings and select iCloud from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Storage and copies". Next, in the "Backup" section, activate the "Copy to iCloud" item, and then click "Create a copy."
After the transfer of all data to the cloud is completed, you can clear the smartphone. This is done by resetting the settings. Please note that the default cloud storage size is not large, and therefore all data may not fit. Make sure everything fits in the cloud before resetting your iPhone.
Now you can take a brand new iPhone and download data to it. During the first launch of the device, click "Restore from iCloud Backup" in the "Set up iPhone" window. Next, you will need to enter data for authorization and select the desired device backup (most likely, this is the last one). After that, the transfer of information from the cloud to the new iPhone will start.
Once the process is completed, the phone will reboot. For a while, the system will continue to install applications. This is normal, especially if there are many applications.
We figured out the first method, now let's move on to the second. If for some reason the option of moving data through the iCloud service did not suit you, you can achieve the same result using the iTunes program.
First of all, connect your smartphone to your computer and open iTunes. After the program finds your device, go to it and in the "Backups" section, check "This computer". Then click on "Backup Now". In the window that appears, you will be prompted to select the parameters for its creation. In it, select "With copies of programs." As soon as the process is completed, you will see a record of the last created backup of the device.
Now you can reset your old iPhone and start transferring information to the new one. To do this, at the first start in the window " iPhone Settings"Select" Restore from copies of iTunes". A window will open in the program in which you can select the desired save (do not forget to connect a new iPhone to the computer beforehand). Once the transfer is complete, iTunes will sync with your device.
It may happen that an error message occurs in the process stating that some objects cannot be moved because you have not authorized the operation on this computer. In this case, go to the program menu and select "Authorize this computer ...". After entering these data, the problem should disappear.
There is also a third alternative way, however, it involves the use of third-party tools. You will need to download to your computer special utility, which will allow you to work with iPhone content. These utilities include file managers iTools, iFile, iPhoneBrowser and some others.
In general, this approach is no different from the previous one, only instead of the “native” iTunes, it uses third party program. If the interface of any of these utilities is more to your liking than the iTunes interface, then this method will suit you.
Now you can easily transfer information from iPhone to iPhone in any way you like. Write in the comments if this article helped you, and ask your questions on the topic discussed.
iPhone owners, like other users of mobile electronics, eventually have to replace the old device with a new one. Regardless of the reason - the device is broken or outdated, it becomes necessary to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone. Therefore, in this article we will consider the available methods of transferring information that match your capabilities.
The owner of the iPhone has three methods of moving information:
The iCloud service is based on synchronization with a proprietary cloud storage. This method allows you to quickly and easily copy the main types of files with a minimum of effort. Convenience lies in the absence of a wired connection to a computer. In this case, the old and new device should be connected to a Wi-Fi point, with unlimited traffic, if you need to transfer a significant amount of data. It is also worth noting that the free storage is 5 GB. If there is more information, some of the data will have to be transferred in other ways, or additional space must be purchased.
Desktop programs for data synchronization, useful in the absence of WiFi hotspots with unlimited traffic, or when you need to copy a large amount of information. To copy information, you should use the official iTunes client or third-party counterparts: iFunBox, iTools, DiskAid, CopyTrans or iExplorer. The principle of operation of these programs is the same. The differences lie in the interface and ease of navigation, as well as in the distribution model - paid or free.
Desktop data recovery programs also allow you to make a copy of existing information - to a computer or to a new device. At the same time, such programs are indispensable if you need to restore or urgently extract data from a damaged iPhone.
Important! First, change to new phone SIM card from the old device. If the machine is set up, clear the data. You also need to have an AppleID account.
After buying a new smartphone, active users Apple technology immediately transfer all your favorite applications, data and other content to it. Previously, computers were used for this. installed application iTunes, later appeared more convenient way with cloud backup.
Not everyone knows that the Cupertinites have come up with even more simple and convenient way data copying. Now let's see how it works.
