Solution 1: Transfer Data from Old iPhone to New iPhone with iCloud

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.


Solution 2: Migrating an Old iPhone to New iPhone with iTunes

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.
