Issue: How to restore data on the new iPhone from an older device?

Hello. I have bought a new iPhone and already set it up. Unfortunately, I need data from my older smartphone. Could you please help me to set up a new iPhone by restoring data from an older device? Thank you very much!

Solved Answer

Even though there is a possibility to transfer the information from the older iPhone to your new device, many people do not take advantage of this function. Usually, people are aware how to set up a new smartphone with older contents when it is still not running. However, once it is already set up and doesn't have the information from the previous device, users just give up.

First of all, to restore data on the new iPhone from your older device, you must have a backup copy. People can choose between using iCloud[1] backups directly on their iPhone or connecting the smartphone to the computer and using backing up the device with iTunes[2].

If you wonder what's the difference, there is none. However, we would like to ask you to be extremely attentive since skipping steps might lead to data loss. For this reason, follow the instructions below and learn how to set up a new iPhone by restoring it from an older device.
