Re: Need advice on how to migrate data from old iPhone 7 to new iPhone 13. Anything I should know?

[Kevin Gibbs]

Guys,

I did manage to pull off the phone to phone transfer from an iPhone 7 running 
iOS 14X to an iPhone 13 running 15X and all seems to be going just fine.  
Thanks for all the help.
Best,
Kevin

Kelly,

Please post a support article explaining your comment:  "the extra iCloud 
temporary storage to hold all the data on his phone in iCloud, he needs iOS 
15". Following my signature, I'm posting an Apple Support article discussing 
the iPhone Quick Start phone to phone transfer process and it mentions nothing 
about iOS 15 and iCloud storage. It can be found at the following link:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210216

Alan Lemly

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Set up your new iOS device automatically using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Set up your new device with Quick Start

Quick Start occupies both devices, so make sure that you choose a time when you 
won't need to use your current device for several minutes.

A new iPhone showing the Quick Start screen. The instructions ask you to put 
your old device near your new one. 

Turn on your new device and place it near your current device.
A screen appears on your current device that offers the option of using 
your Apple ID to set up your new device. Make sure that it's the Apple ID that 
you want to use, then tap Continue. If you don't see the option to continue on 
your current device, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
Wait for an animation to appear on your new device. Hold your current 
device over the new device, then center the animation in the viewfinder.
Wait for a message that says Finish on New [Device]. If you can't use your 
current device's camera, tap Authenticate Manually, then follow the onscreen 
steps.
When asked, enter your current device's passcode on your new device. Then 
follow the instructions to set up Face ID or Touch ID on your new device.
When you see the Transfer Data from [Device] screen, tap Continue to begin 
transferring your data from your previous device to your new device. Or you can 
tap Other Options to transfer apps, data, and settings from your most recent 
iCloud backup or transfer from a backup on your computer.

Keep your devices near each other and plugged in to power until the data 
migration process is complete. Transfer times can vary based on factors such as 
network conditions and the amount of data being transferred.
Still need help?

Learn what to do if you can't activate your iPhone.
If you need more help, contact Apple Support.

Possibly. But if he wants the extra iCloud temporary storage to hold all the 
data on his phone in iCloud, he needs iOS 15.

Hi Simon,

Well, when I was setting up my new iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 15 and attempted 
a phone to phone transfer from my SE 2020 running iOS 15.02, the transfer 
failed four times until I set up the 13 Mini as a new device and upgraded it to 
a later version of iOS than was running on the SE.

Allan,



And kellie,



So long as both phones have IOS versions later than 11

Then the wireless transferr will work between the devices,





As for the older device,

It should not matter if the IOS Versions are different

The transfer can actually intergrate the update of the IOS version on the new 
dvice if the older phone has a newer OS version.





So it shouldn’t be an issue for you with the transfer.



Good luck.

You are missing the wireless iPhone to iPhone transfer. I had 100 gigs
transfer in less than an hour.  Both phones need to be running iOS 15
so if the iPhone 7 is not currently running 15, you will need to
upgrade. At the end of the process, you will need to enter in your
Apple ID and password and verify your identity by entering a code sent
by text message to download the apps from the app store.

I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Mini in November from a 7.  I also backed
up the 7 on my computer and used Apple’s new feature in iOS 15 that
backs up the entire contents of your phone to iCloud for a few weeks
when upgrading to a new phone.  This means I was actually triple
backed up: regular iCloud, temporary iCloud for phone upgrades, and a
computer backup if iCloud is unavailable. Fortunately, things went
smoothly.

Enjoy your phone. I am glad I upgraded for the better battery
management and Face ID.

Possibly. But if he wants the extra iCloud temporary storage to hold
all the data on his phone in iCloud, he needs iOS 15.

Kelly,

I don't think both iPhones must be running iOS 15 in order to do a wireless 
phone to phone transfer. The source iPhone must be running a version of iOS 
that supports this transfer and it must not be running a newer version of iOS 
than the target iPhone. Other than that, I don't believe there are any 
restrictions.

You are missing the wireless iPhone to iPhone transfer. I had 100 gigs
transfer in less than an hour.  Both phones need to be running iOS 15
so if the iPhone 7 is not currently running 15, you will need to
upgrade. At the end of the process, you will need to enter in your
Apple ID and password and verify your identity by entering a code sent
by text message to download the apps from the app store.

I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Mini in November from a 7.  I also backed
up the 7 on my computer and used Apple’s new feature in iOS 15 that
backs up the entire contents of your phone to iCloud for a few weeks
when upgrading to a new phone.  This means I was actually triple
backed up: regular iCloud, temporary iCloud for phone upgrades, and a

Re: Need advice on how to migrate data from old iPhone 7 to new iPhone 13. Anything I should know?

[Kelly Pierce]

You are missing the wireless iPhone to iPhone transfer. I had 100 gigs
transfer in less than an hour.  Both phones need to be running iOS 15
so if the iPhone 7 is not currently running 15, you will need to
upgrade. At the end of the process, you will need to enter in your
Apple ID and password and verify your identity by entering a code sent
by text message to download the apps from the app store.

I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Mini in November from a 7.  I also backed
up the 7 on my computer and used Apple’s new feature in iOS 15 that
backs up the entire contents of your phone to iCloud for a few weeks
when upgrading to a new phone.  This means I was actually triple
backed up: regular iCloud, temporary iCloud for phone upgrades, and a
computer backup if iCloud is unavailable. Fortunately, things went
smoothly.

Enjoy your phone. I am glad I upgraded for the better battery
management and Face ID.

RE: Need advice on how to migrate data from old iPhone 7 to new iPhone 13. Anything I should know?

[Simon A Fogarty]

Any time you like,

They should take the same sim from memory
A nano

Use either a sim tool which should be in the paper work for your new phone or a 
paper clip to push out the sim tray of each device.
Note the sim card is small, so do the removal over a table or surface you can 
find the sim on if you drop it.

But you can do it at any time during the setup process of your new phone.

Good luck you’re not really going to have much trouble.

Re: Need advice on how to migrate data from old iPhone 7 to new iPhone 13. Anything I should know?

[Kevin Gibbs]

when you say, make sure your stuff is backed up, I assume I'm good because 
my stuff is both in the cloud and on my Mac mini.  so, if the Mac mini is 
not involved because I chose to do the phone to phone wireless transfer, I 
should have the Mac mini and the Time Machine for the Mac  Mini as backups. 
 should I not?Granted, that will be a real bear if it comes to that.   But 
I should be covered.  Right?

Hi Kevin, I've always done an iCloud transfer. And it's not hard to do. Just 
make sure that all your stuff is backed up, meaning photos contacts etc. etc., 
then whenever you perform the steps that somebody posted from Allan, skipping 
the iTunes part would definitely be the easier way. You will have all of your 
stuff in about 20 minutes.

RE: Need advice on how to migrate data from old iPhone 7 to new iPhone 13. Anything I should know?

[Richard Turner]

Here is a good explanation of the Wireless transfer option now with iOS.

Alan Lemley wrote the following:
Hi List,

I decided to make detailed notes of the steps involved in setting up a new 
iPhone mainly for my own benefit since I forget what is involved as I only do 
this every couple of years. In my case, I bought this SE 2020 directly from the 
Apple Store app with no SIM card included since I have a prepaid Verizon plan 
and could not specify my carrier successfully when ordering. The below numbered 
list will be very detailed since I'd rather have too much information than not 
enough. Any settings provided came from my iPhone 8 running iOS 13.4.1.

1.  Opened iTunes on my Windows 7 computer, verified I was running its 
latest version of 12.10.6, connected my iPhone 8 using the lightning cable, and 
did an encrypted backup.
2.  Did an iCloud backup by going to Settings - Alan Lemly - Apple ID - 
iCloud - iTunes and App Store, iCloud, iCloud backup, and executing Backup now.
3.  I read a lot of books using the BARD Mobile app and since any books 
downloaded to an iPhone are not transferred to a new restored iPhone, I made a 
list in an Excel file of the downloaded books I wanted to re-download to my new 
iPhone and the location of any current reading position in those books.
4.  I plugged my lightning cable connected to my computer to the new phone 
and the Apple logo appeared on the screen. The white screen appeared a few 
seconds later with the cycling languages appearing and I pressed the home 
button 3 times quickly to turn on Voiceover. Although I was hearing clicks as I 
swiped, Voiceover did not start talking until a number of seconds later. In 
fact, I pressed the home button 3 times again because I wasn't sure I had 
turned Voiceover on. This turned Voiceover off and I had to press the home 
button 3 times again to turn it back on and I heard Voiceover say hello and 
when I swiped once, Voiceover said press home to open.
5.  I pressed home and Voiceover said Setup and put me in a list of 
language buttons with English at the top. I double tapped on English.
6.  The screen which opened said Select your country or region heading. I 
double tapped on the United States button which was the first in the list.
7.  The screen which opened said Quick start heading Bring your current 
iPhone or iPad near this iPhone to sign in and set up. The older iPhone must be 
using iOS 11 or later with Bluetooth turned on. There was a button at the end 
to Set up manually.
8.  A screen opened on my old iPhone to set up a new iPhone using my apple 
ID with a button to continue. A screen appeared to position some pattern in a 
circle but I double tapped the Authenticate manually button instead.
9.  I was prompted to input the 6 digit authentication code displayed on my 
new iPhone using the number pad screen on my old iPhone. My new iPhone then 
prompted me to enter my passcode of my old iPhone. I had to double tap each 
number on the on screen number pad on my new iPhone since touch typing was not 
turned on.
10. I was prompted to set up touch ID on the new iPhone which I did.
11. Several screens were presented asking me to place my finger and lift my 
finger which I did. I was then taken to a screen which said Adjust your grip 
and it said keep going to capture the edges of your grip. I double tapped a 
Continue button at the bottom of this screen.
12. I was then prompted to again place and lift my finger until I got the 
Complete message. Touch ID is ready was spoken and I then executed the Continue 
button at the bottom of that screen.
13. The next screen said Transfer your data heading. The explanation said 
you can directly transfer your data during setup or finish downloading it 
later. Buttons on this screen were Transfer from iPhone, Download from iCloud, 
or other options. The Transfer from iPhone said the time to transfer was about 
1 hour. The download from iCloud said I could start using my iPhone in about 15 
minutes and my data would download later over wifi. I executed the Transfer 
from iPhone button.
14. I was taken to a Terms and conditions screen on the new iPhone where I 
double tapped an Agree button in the bottom right corner.
15. I was taken to a Settings from other iPhone heading screen where it 
listed some settings about allowing Siri to use voice input, contacts, etc. and 
allowing maps to use my location. I executed the Continue button at the bottom 
of this screen without customizing any settings.
16. I was taken to a Keep your iPhone up to date heading screen which was 
basically a commercial for updating iOS automatically. At the bottom of this 
screen was a Continue button followed by an Install updates manually button. I 
chose the Install updates manually button.
17. I was then taken to a screen to Add cards to Apple Pay. Instead of 
executing the Continue button, I chose to Set up later in Wallet which was a 

Need advice on how to migrate data from old iPhone 7 to new iPhone 13. Anything I should know?

[Kevin Gibbs]

Guys,

I just got a new iPhone 13 in the mail.  I have an iPhone 7.  Historically, I 
always moved all my stuff from one iPhone to another, (iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 
most recently,) by connecting a cable from my ancient Mac mini 2010 and doing a 
hard transfer through iTunes.  This would take forever.  

It occurs to me that since my iTunes and iPhoto libraries are in the cloud and 
all my apps should be there as well, I wonder if it’s possible for me to simply 
sign into my iCloud account and connect the phone to AC and let it do its thing 
over night.  Is that an option?  Would it be any faster, more effective, more 
efficient?  Am I missing anything important?

Thanks for any assistance or advice.

Best,
Kevin
