When you get your shiny — or matte! — new iPhone 7, you’ll need to move all your old data to its new home. If you want to switch from iPhone 4/4s, iPhone 5/5s/5c, iPhone 6/6s, iPhone SE to the new iPhone 7, there are several ways to sync old iOS device to the new one.
How to transfer your data to your new iPhone using iTunes
Here’s the deal: If you make an encrypted backup of your old iPhone using iTunes, then restore it to your new iPhone, it’ll bring most — if not all — your password information along with it. That’ll save you a lot of time and effort getting set back up.
- Back up the older iPhone with iTunes by connecting it to the Mac/PC via USB, launching iTunes, then right-click on the iPhone in the iTunes sidebar and choose Back Up
- Wait for the backup to finish, then disconnect the old iPhone from the computer
- Now turn on the new iPhone 7, and at the Set Up iPhone screen, select Restore from iTunes Backup, tap Next, then connect the new iPhone 7 to the computer
- Select the most recent backup you just made from the restore menu in iTunes, then click Continue.
- Wait, and when the transfer is finished the iPhone 7 will reboot itself and everything from the old iPhone 4/4s, 5/5s/5c, 6/6s or iPhone SE will be on the new one and ready to go.
How to transfer your data to your new iPhone using iCloud
If you use Apple’s online service, iCloud, to backup your iPhone, then you can transfer all your data over wirelessly. Depending on when your last backup was, however, you might want to manually trigger a backup before making a transfer. That’ll ensure everything is as up-to-date as possible.
Turn on the WI-FI connection on your old iPhone and coonect it to power source. Then, tap on Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup to enable iCloud Backup. By default, it backs up notes, photos, bookmarks, contacts, calenars, etc. Of course you can manually set what to be backup, but make sure that notes is checked!
Now turn on your new iPhone 7, start to set up your new phone, navigate to Restore from iCloud Backup, sign in your iCloud account, then choose backup.
