With the online sales festival live on India’s top ecommerce website, many are contemplating to get their hands on the latest smartphone.
For those who are actually getting a new one, it is important to transfer data from your old iPhone or Android device. What may seem daunting is but a straightforward process.
Four Simple Methods to Transfer Data to Your New iPhone
We have listed 4 methods to transfer the data:
- Restore from iCloud: One can opt to transfer apps and data using Quick start and select “Restore from iCloud Backup” log in to your Apple Account, and choose the most recent backup in order to restore from an iCloud backup. If the existing backup is a few days old, consider creating a new one in the Settings app on your old phone before proceeding.
- Apple Direct Transfer: if in case you don’t have a recent iCloud backup or in case of slow internet connection, one can use the direct transfer option during the Quick start. In this case, one should ensure that both the devices are charged, connected to Wi-Fi, and have enough time for the process, which can take over an hour. A wired connection can speed this up, though you might need an adapter.
- Use a Mac or PC: One can also choose to restore your new iPhone from an encrypted backup on a computer. Create this backup using Finder on a Mac or iTunes on a PC by checking the “Encrypt backup” box. When setting up your new device, connect it to the computer, select the backup, and enter the password.
- Move to iOS for Android Users: Those who are users of Android, users can use the “Move to iOS” app which is available on Google Pay. This app allows you to transfer essential data easily. Apple has improved the app for faster transfers via Wi-Fi or a USB-C cable.
Once you decide which road to go down on, we wish you all the very best with your iPhone journey!
