Part 1: Why Didn't My Photos Transfer to the New iPhone

The reasons why your photos didn't transfer to the new iPhone vary based on whether you're using the sync method or the iCloud backup method to transfer.

If you Enable Photos to Sync to iCloud

• Insufficient iCloud Storage Space:

If you don't have enough iCloud storage, then not all of your photos on your old iPhone are synced to iCloud.

• iCloud Photos is Disabled on New iPhone:

Disabling iCloud photos on your new iPhone could be another reason your images did not transfer to the new iPhone. You should enable it from the settings app if this is the case for you.

• The iCloud Account on New iPhone is Different:

Your iCloud account on the new iPhone must be the same as the old iPhone for data, including photos, to be synced to your new iPhone 15.

If you Back Up Photos to iCloud

• Not Enough Storage Space on New iPhone:

Another thing that could cause photos didn't transfer to the new iPhone is insufficient storage space. Perhaps your photos are up to 80G, and your iPhone storage is just 64G. The transfer process can't be executed.

• Unstable Internet Connection:

It would be best to have a good internet connection for data to transfer between two iPhones without disruption. It could compromise the transfer process, thus causing photos to not transfer to the new iPhone.

Another reason: iOS Bug

• Update to the latest iOS version:

To update your iOS version, first, ensure your new device is compatible with the latest version of iOS. Then, connect your iPhone 15 to a stable Wi-Fi network and ensure it is fully charged or plugged in. Next, go to the "Settings" app and select "General." Select "Software Update," and your device will check for available updates. If an update is available, select "Download and Install." Follow the prompts to complete the update, which may take several minutes. Once the update is complete, your device will restart, and you will be running the latest version of iOS. Then, use Quick Start to transfer your data again.
