There are plenty of plausible ways to transfer your data from iPhone to iPhone, including the popular iCloud and iTunes as guided in this article.
Method 1: How to Transfer Data from iPhone to iPhone with MobileTrans – Phone Transfer
MobileTrans-Phone Transfer is a powerful program that provides an ideal platform to transfer data or other files across Android, iOS, and Windows devices. The intuitive and user-friendly interface makes it stress-free to transfer all kinds of data from your old phone to the new one. Whether you want to transfer from iPhone to iPhone, Android to iPhone, iPhone to Android, Android to Android, Windows to Android/iOS and vice versa, MobileTrans-Phone Transfer will do it for you. With just some simple steps, be sure to transfer everything you need to transfer to your new phone. The following steps show how you can transfer data from iPhone to iPhone using MobileTrans-Phone Transfer.
Step 1. Tap the MobileTrans-Phone Transfer icon to run the application on your computer. From the options given on the interface, choose the “Phone Transfer” option.
Step 2. Connect your two iPhones on the computer via a suitable media like USB. Once connected, the program will automatically display the two iPhones as “Source iPhone” and “Destination iPhone”. If the two appear in the wrong positions, simply click the “Flip” button to align them properly. This is because data will only be transferred from source to destination.
Step 3. From the file list given, tick the boxes that correspond to the data files you want to transfer to the new iPhone. Click “Start” to trigger the data transfer from one iPhone to the other. If you want the program to get rid of any data on the destination iPhone before the transfer, simply select the “Clear data before copy” option. Otherwise, do not disconnect the two iPhones when the data transfer process is running.
After a few minutes, the entire process will complete. Select the destination iPhone and check that all the data files you selected have been successfully transferred.
Method 2: How to Transfer Data from iPhone to iPhone with iTunes or Finder
iTunes or Finder offers an excellent platform for users to transfer their data from one iPhone to another with simple steps. You can move all your data as well as the content you purchased into your new iPhone. This process is nothing but restoring your iTunes into the new iPhone device. However, it is essential to note that iTunes cannot transfer your health and activity data if you haven’t yet encrypted your iTunes backup. The following steps show how to transfer data from your iTunes to your new iPhone.
Step 1. To start with, turn on your new iPhone. You should see the “Hello” screen. In case you already set up the new iPhone, simply get rid of the set up before moving on to the next step.
Step 2. Follow the on-screen instruction until the “Apps & Data” screen appears. Select the “Restore from Mac or PC” option.
Step 3. Now connect your new iPhone to the PC that you used to back up your old iPhone. Launch iTunes and choose your device.
Step 4. Choose the “Restore Backup” option and select the correct backup. You can use the date and size aspects to determine which backup you should restore. If the backup were encrypted, you would be prompted to enter the correct password. Make sure you do so.
Step 5. Patiently wait for the restore process to complete. When it is done, finish the remaining setup steps on your new iPhone.
Method 3: How to Transfer Everything from iPhone to iPhone With Quick Start
Quick Start provides one of the best ways to set up and transfer your data from one iPhone to another without using iCloud. If both the source and the destination iPhone are using iOS 12.4 or later versions, Quick Start will allow you to transfer your data using the iPhone Migration option. With iPhone migration, you can move all your data wirelessly from the old to the new iPhone. Since Quicks Start will run on both devices during the data transfer process, make sure that none of them is engaged elsewhere. This process will take several minutes depending on the nature and strength of your wireless connectivity and the size of data being transferred. The following steps illustrate how you can transfer everything from iPhone to iPhone with Quick Start.
Step 1. To begin with, switch on your new iPhone and ensure you are within proximity with the old iPhone. Connect the two iPhones if you opt to transfer data via a wired connection. The Quick Start screen will be displayed on the old phone to allow you to set up your new iPhone via Apple ID. Enter the correct Apple ID and hit “Continue”. If this option is not visible, make sure your Bluetooth device is turned on.
Step 2. When an animation is displayed on your new iPhone, hold the old iPhone over the new iPhone and then adjust the position to ensure the animation is centred in the viewfinder.
Step 3. If you are prompted to enter a password on the new iPhone, just enter the old iPhone’s password. Follow the subsequent instructions to set up your Face ID or Touch ID for the new iPhone.
Step 4. Finally, select the target backup and select the suitable restore. You will be provided with an option to restore your files from iCloud backup or simply update your current backup and restore. Choose to transfer settings or any other data when prompted. Make sure that the two iPhones are near each other and having enough power until the whole transfer process is completed.
