With the release of the brand new iPhone 13 models you could be looking to transfer data from old iPhone to new iPhone 13. Moving your data from an old device to new iPhone is a sensitive process, as you want to be very careful during the transfer process since you don’t want to lose precious data in the transfer process.
When it comes to transferring old iPhone data to new iPhone 13, Apple offers a quick transfer feature that makes it possible for users to transfer data from their old device to new device.
Using Quick Start feature to set up your new iPhone 13 and transferring data from old device to the new one is quite easy. You can do this by following the steps given below.
Step 1. Turn on your new iPhone 13 and place it near your old iPhone.
Step 2. On your old iPhone a screen will appear that shows your Apple ID. Make sure it is the Apple ID you want to set up your new device with and tap on Continue.
Step 3. On your new device an animation will appear, when it does hold your old iPhone over the new iPhone 13 in order to center the animation in the viewfinder.
Step 4. On old iPhone a message that says Finish on new iPhone should appear. When asked enter your old iPhone’s passcode on your new iPhone 13.
Step 5. Now set up Face ID on your iPhone 13 and then tap on Continue when you see Transfer data screen.
Now data transfer between your old iPhone and new iPhone 13 will begin. During the transfer process make sure both devices are close to each other and are connected to power.
As you may have noted in the steps above the steps for transferring data with Quick Start is quite easy, however it does have its weaknesses. For example, with this method you cannot choose which data you want to transfer and which data you want to keep out of the transfer process.
It also does not transfer everything such as music that you haven’t purchased from Apple Music.
Another issue with this method is that it can only be used on a new device or an iPhone that has been reset.
