If your old iPhone is running iOS 11, you can use Quick Start, a new iOS 11 feature that makes the transfer easy. Just turn on the new iPhone, set it next to the old one, and tap Continue when asked whether you want to use your Apple ID to set up your new iPhone. An animation appears on the new iPhone for you to scan with the old iPhone\u2014once you\u2019ve done that, follow the rest of the instructions to enable Touch ID or Face ID and then restore your data and settings from your most recent iCloud backup (you can update the backup first if necessary). Leave the two iPhones next to each other while data is being transferred, and if possible, keep the new one plugged in and on Wi-Fi after setup so it can download your apps, photos, and music from Apple\u2019s cloud-based services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5495 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Quick-Start-process-1024x595.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"385\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 663px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 663\/385;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re unboxing a new iPhone, it\u2019s time to think about how you\u2019ll move your digital life from your old iPhone to the new one.
