Every time a new iPhone series is released, many people will order it first. And the iPhone 13 series was released this year. Most iPhone users already use an iPhone, so transferring content from old iPhone to iPhone 13, like transferring contacts to new iPhone, is essential. To solve this problem, Apple itself came up with various solutions, for example iTunes (Finder), iCloud, Quick Start and iPhone migration after iOS 12.4. All these methods are intended to make it easier for users to define up a new iPhone, however, they still have their own pros and cons. Here in this article, we will introduce you to all possible ways to transfer content and data from old iPhone to your new iPhone (including iPhone 13). ## How to transfer iPhone data via iCloud The simplest method to preserve your iPhone data is to backup up your iPhone to iCloud. Go to Settings > Your Name (the first option) > iCloud. You will see how much iCloud storage you used and which apps you are supporting up. You can see a summary of how much storage space is currently being used by Photos, backups, apps and other data. Scroll down to see a list of apps using iCloud, with the option to turn each app on or off - so that they appear or not on your new iPhone automatically. You only get 5GB of storage for free. Considering most iPhones these days have 64GB of storage or more, this won't be enough for most people. You can follow our guide about how to free up space on an iPhone, but that probably won't be enough. Return up all in your phone, you will likely need to upgrade to a paid plan. It costs $0.99 / £0.79 / AU$1.49 per month for 50GB or $2.99 ​​/ £2.49 / AU$4.49 per month for 200GB. If you don't mind a small fee, you can subscribe up, back up all yours phone to iCloud, download the data to your new iPhone and cancel iCloud before the end of the month. In iCloud settings, choose Manage Storage and click Update to select your paid plan. Once you've decided what you want to transfer to your new iPhone, head to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > iCloud Backup. You'll find the option at the bottom of the 'Apps using iCloud' section. Turn on iCloud Backup if it isn't already and select Back Up Now. Your iPhone will upload all your latest data to the cloud. Now start configuring up your new iPhone. Follow the onscreen steps, including connecting your phone for WiFi; you can skip the quick start screen, which appears in the next section. Once you reach the Apps & Data screen, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You must log in to your Apple ID account; if you have 2FA enabled, you will likely need to approve login on your old iPhone or Mac. Then choose the latest iCloud backup from the list of options that shows today's date. Apple will transfer all up data directly to your new iPhone. Just make sure the phone is connected to Wi-Fi so that you are not using cellular data and that it is connected so that the phone does not die in the middle of the transfer. ## How to transfer data from iPhone with Quick Start The best free method to transfer data to your new iPhone is through Quick Start, Apple's own iPhone to iPhone transfer system. To use it, your current iPhone must run iOS 12.4 or later and have Bluetooth enabled. Any iPhone from the 5S should be able to do this. However, we recommend upgrading to iOS 14.5 (or the latest iOS version available at phones) for easier transfer process. Turn on your old and new iPhone and place them next to each other. On the new iPhone, choose your language. The next screen should be the quick start screen. On your old iPhone – assuming Bluetooth is turned on – you should see a pop-up screen asking if you want to 'Use your Apple ID' [email@domain.com] per up your new iPhone'. Click Continue and choose up your old iPhone and place the camera view so that it overlaps the circular pattern that appears on your new iPhone. Your old iPhone is now synced. Put it close and plug it in if the battery is low so it doesn't die in the middle of the transfer. On your new iPhone, follow the onscreen steps until you reach the Transfer your data screen. Choose Transfer from iPhone, agree to the Terms and Conditions (assuming you agree to the terms and conditions, of course), and confirm which Settings or other data you want to transfer. You may also need to update your new iPhone to the latest operating system. When the new iPhone has finished preparing the transfer, the old iPhone will show a 'Transferring data' screen with a progress bar, while the new iPhone will have a 'Transferring data from iPhone from X' with the same progress. How long it will take will depend on how many gigabytes of data you are transferring and whether the two phones are wired. Eventually the transfer will complete! On your new iPhone, tap on the menus that appear until you reach the home screen. Make sure your Apple Photos, Calendar, Mail, Contacts and other apps have your old data. On your old iPhone, press Continue to go back to home screen. Now that you've confirmed that everything has changed, you can safely factory reset your iPhone. ## How to transfer data to an iPhone using a wired connection You can also choose to connect the two iPhones using a cable and adapter before using the Quick Start method. meanwhile will accelerate up the transfer frankly may not be worth the price. You need a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter ($29 / £29 / AU$49) to go with the standard Lightning to USB cable that came with the iPhone. The adapter's Lightning connector goes into one iPhone, the USB charger is inserted into the adapter, and the charger's Lightning connector slots into the other iPhone. This adapter is mainly used to transfer data from USB compatible accessories to iPhones and iPads. If you don't see yourself using it in any other context, it's probably safe to ignore it and just transfer wirelessly. The small amount of time saved probably doesn't justify the cost. ## How to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone using Mac or PC Support up your iPhone to your computer has some benefits when transferring data to a new iPhone. It allows you to transfer data using a cable instead of Wi-Fi, without paying for iCloud. Also, it stores backup data in case your iPhone is lost or damaged. To connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC, you will need a USB-C to Lightning cable or a USB-C to USB adapter to go with the USB to Lightning charging cable. With the latest version of macOS, Apple now supports up your iPhone to Finder instead of iTunes. Connect your old iPhone and find it under Places in Finder. Choose Trust this device on iPhone and Mac. You will see an option to Go Back up all data from your iPhone to your Mac. Select it and choose Back up now. With your new iPhone, turn it on, connect it to your computer and follow the onscreen steps. Skip the Quick Start and progress to Apps & Data. Choose Restore from Mac or PC. You will follow the onscreen steps to install the latest backup on your new iPhone. ## Final note I hope you like the guide How to move data from one iPhone to another iPhone.
