      @ it went well surprisingly. I did direct transfer and the only issue I had was understanding the whole phone number / physical sim to esim thing but eventually got it. In my case it was more complicated then typical phone carriers since I currently have cricket wireless lol if you have any of the big phone carriers you should be fine.

      Right on. Just finished mine, went fine as well. I had eSim with Xfinity for my primary already and that was seamless, but I have a foreign sim card on my SE I'll have to transfer somehow when I get back over there. It's a little different with a few things to get used to, but so far the 16 Pro is really nice.

    I backup my iPhone to my Mac, so in the past I've plugged my new iPhone into the Mac and let it setup from that backup instead of using iCloud. I've also used the iPhone to iPhone cable connection method as well. Both are very much faster than using local Wi-fi and restore from iCloud.

    Great video, clear instructions. Best was learning I didn't have to purchase more icloud storage just to transfer to new iphone using the cloud. For some reason, when I tried using the 2 phones, it would get to a point and tell me the 'new phone' didn't have enough room. the old phone had 99gb free, so I'm not sure why the new phone said not enough room to complete transfer.

    Hi Jerry, good video! If you could please help, I have old iphone7 with old IOS version , and now 16 Pro, so can I just start fresh with 16 Pro, and on iphone 7 just backup evecrything to the cloud, and then from iphone 16 Pro login to cloud and download the stuff all without paring the two phones? Also can it transfer the Whatsup files/messages also or I could just put my phone number when opening Whatsup on the new Pro, and then it will restore?
    Also, does it need to be connected to wifi in order to upload/download from cloud or it can be regular internet connection?

    • @JerrySchulze
      @JerrySchulze  12 днів тому +1

      Yes you can set up as new and anything that syncs with iCloud or has iCloud backup can be downloaded on new. WhatsApp can backup to iCloud (go to what’s app settings and configure) and when you sign in on new will ask you if you want to restore. WiFi would be best not sure if everything will download over cellular.

      Sounds like you did a direct migration? You could cancel it. The new phone will go through a reset progress and you will have to start again. The. You could do a full iCloud backup and go that route. Or use a Mac or PC to backup and restore the new iPhone from that.

  • @bencrookuk
    @bencrookuk 24 дні тому +1

    My iCloud was corrupted by apple
    Big issue
    So I had to set up my 16 as new phone
    This meant that a private stand alone app which I have 800GB of music concert and videos on, the content does not appear as the content is on the internal memory of the iPhone 14
    Any ideas how to transfer that app straight across without taking all pics and videos from the app onto camera roll and then re-adding into app one at a time
    The reason I had this app so that I could store stuff on internal memory rather than using the iCloud space so I stayed under the expensive price of storage
    Thanks for any advice or help you can give

  • @PunkRockLifer
    @PunkRockLifer 2 місяці тому +1

    For some reason when trying the direct phone to phone transfer, it is only using 4G and not my home WiFi connection so it was saying 5 hours to transfer. I have cancelled it now and plan to do your way with iCloud. One question though, my iCloud backup is only saying 45gb and there is way more than this on my phone when you check storage. Will iCloud transfer everything?

    • @JerrySchulze
      @JerrySchulze  2 місяці тому

      When you do Wi-Fi transfer, it does not use your home Wi-Fi network. It creates its own Wi-Fi network directly from phone to phone.
      As far as the number is not matching up, a lot of it will have to do with iCloud store data for example iCloud, photos and messages take up a lot of space, but it doesn’t migrate those. The new phone will download them.

    Terrific video. Here are my suggestions to all of this. 1) I ONLY back up to my Mac, the only thing I do with iCloud is Contacts. When you back up to iCloud, you do lose control of your data to a certain extent. Is it encrypted? Can others access it? When the data is on your Mac, it's more secure in my opinion. 2) NEVER use facial recognition to unlock your iPhone, use a pass code ONLY. The police, courts, customs, TSA, OR CRIMINALS can unlock your phone with facial recognition. ONLY a pass code gives you legal protection, and is the best security.
