It's really a thrill to hold the iPhone 6S (Plus) in hand. However, you may still stuck in how to backup your old phone data to this awesome new iPhone. Actually, it's no-barrier to transfer data to your new iPhone. No sweat, we’ll walk you through the two absolute easiest and most pain free methods to migrate everything from that old phone to the brand spankin new iPhone 6 or 6 plus.
This is by far the easiest method and it doesn’t require a PC or Mac, but it relies on having iCloud set up on the original device. If you don’t have iCloud set up or you have a slower internet connection, jump to the iTunes method below instead.
Is that easy or what? If you don’t have iCloud or your internet connection is slower, the iTunes method below is also quite easy.
Don’t have iCloud setup? Or maybe you don’t have enough iCloud storage to backup to it? No big deal, you can use iTunes to perform the migration. You’ll need a Mac or PC though, so it’s not quite as automated as the aforementioned iCloud method, but it’s still extremely simple and it may even be faster for some users who have slower broadband connections.
