If your old device is running iOS 11, you can use it to automatically set up your new device. iCloud backups take a copy of the information held on your phone and store it in the cloud. Music or apps you bought through iTunes can be redownloaded if needed. Certain things are already in the cloud, such as your photos (if you use iCloud Photo Library), Touch ID settings, and your iCloud Music Library and App Store content. Switching from one iPhone to another is a very simple process. There are two very good reasons for this: first of all it can help ensure you get the latest version of the data on your phone second, if something goes wrong, you can always get your information back. The golden rule for doing anything like this is back your phone up before you start. The good news is that most of the data is likely to be in the cloud, making it a little less time consuming. Everything from your contacts to your Whatsapp messages is on your old phone, and if you want to keep absolutely everything, you’ll need to put in some effort. Now comes a little bit of work: transferring your data. Hands up who got a new phone for Christmas.
