The biggest headache for iPhone users should be how to transfer all the photos, apps, information, and contacts from the old iPhone to the new iPhone in the fastest and time-saving way every time a new iPhone is replaced. Whether it was through iTunes or iCloud before, it would take several hours. Thanks to the new feature of the iPhone that can be transferred directly through the phone, which is really simple, time-saving, and labor-saving! So come and learn how to do that!
Old phone: iPhone 6S Plus
New phone: iPhone 11 Pro Max
1. It must be ensured that the iOS version of the new phone is higher than that of the old phone. The old phone does not have to download the latest version. My example is that the old phone is iOS 13.7 (the latest is iOS14).
2. The new phone must be in the state before activation, then the problem is coming. Maybe the version of the new phone is not the latest when it is factory set. In other words, it may be lower than the version of the old phone. This is absolutely not ok. Some people may say that the new iPhone will prompt you to download the latest version during transfer, then follow the prompts to download the latest IOS! In my case, there was no prompt to download the latest version, and I was stuck at the previous step in the picture below, so I suspected that the version of the old phone must be higher than the new phone. Later, it proved that I really guessed it!
3. What should we do in this situation? ! You have to activate the new phone first, then download the latest IOS, then select Restore in General to erase all the content and settings, and then start the first step, put the two phones together, keep charging, the two phones must be connected to the same Wi-Fi, the information and calls of the old phone cannot be viewed or answered. A black screen does not affect the transfer, because my old iPhone is about 100G, the transmission is completed in about 20 minutes. When the transmission is completed, the new iPhone will automatically shut down and turn on again. After turning it on, all APPs will be displayed but in the download status, in about ten minutes it will be fine!
4. This new feature has nothing to do with iCloud, so there is no need to buy storage space or backup. Just make sure that the software version of the new iPhone is higher than that of the old iPhone. (the old iPhones do not need to download the latest version but make sure it is above 12.4! No need to have the same version as the new iPhone).
5. If you try to connect two mobile phones but still can’t succeed, it’s likely that the version of the new iPhone is lower than the old one. At least I couldn’t make it because of this situation.
6. There is no need to insert a SIM card in the new iPhone during transmission, as long as you keep both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on (the same for the old iPhone), the new mobile phone will be turned on by default before being activated!
