How to trade in your older iPhone for the latest model
Choose whether you want to pay all at once or monthly. If you go with the former, your original payment method will be credited. If you decide to pay monthly, your trade in value will be automatically applied to your bill. When your new iPhone arrives, you’ll be able to activate it immediately and view videos (some of which are part of this article) showing you how to transfer your data and more.
Let’s say that as you are waving goodbye to your old iPhone, you’re waving hello to your new one. How do you transfer all of the apps and data in your old iPhone to your new unit? Go to Get Started on the Settings menu of your old iPhone under the section titled “Get Ready For Your New iPhone.” If you don’t have this option on your device, go to Settings > General > Transferor Reset iPhone.
Transfer your data from an older iPhone to a new model
Concerned that you don’t have enough iCloud storage to back up the data and apps on your old phone? There’s no need to fear because Apple will provide you with temporary cloud storage to help you finish the job. Yes, that’s right, Apple will give you as much temporary cloud storage as you need to transfer your data and apps from your old iPhone to your new one for 21 days.
But at the end of 21 days, your older iPhone does not turn into a pumpkin. You can tap on a button before your first 21 days expires to receive another 21 days. On the next screen you’ll tap on the button that says “Move All App Data With iCloud.” If you tap on “Don’t Move Data For These Apps,” the apps that you select will not be moved over to your new phone.
Tap “Done” and the back up process will begin. Because this process can take some time, Apple made sure that you can still use your device while this process is taking place. Once the backup is completed, you’ll be ready to setup your new iPhone. Now you are half way done and the next step is transferring data to your new iPhone. Turn on the new device and follow the directions until you see the Quick Start screen. Click on “Set Up Manually” if you are using the data you’ve stored in iCloud.
Suppose you are coming to the iPhone 13 line from an Android phone. What do you do in that scenario? First, make sure that your Android device has Wi-Fi turned on. Both the Android phone you’re saying goodbye to, and the iPhone you are saying hello to, should be plugged into an outlet. Make sure that you have enough space on the iPhone for the content you are moving over.
Transfer your data from an Android phone to your new iPhone
Apple recommends that you don’t finish setting up your iPhone until this process has been completed. But if you’re stubborn and have already set up your new handset, you will have to erase it and start over. Ouch! It pays to follow directions. If you don’t want to erase it, you can enter all of the apps and data manually which will take you plenty of time to accomplish. To start, follow the directions on your iPhone and from the Apps & Data page, select Move data from Android.
From the Google Play Store, install Move to iOS on your Android device. Follow the directions and when the Transfer Data screen shows up on your Android phone pick the data you want to move over. And here’s an important notice: even if the screen on your Android phone says that the process is complete, don’t touch anything until the loading bar on the iPhone is finished.
