If you’ve got a new iPhone 13 to replace your current iPhone, there are a few ways you can migrate your data across to the new device. You can restore your apps, data, and settings from your most recent iCloud backup, restore from a backup on your computer, or you can use device-to-device migration to transfer your data directly from your previous iPhone to your new one. There are currently known issues with restoring your data from a backup, so this article focuses on how to perform a wireless device-to-device migration.
Without doubt, device-to-device migration will be the most convenient option for most owners of a new iPhone 13. It transfers over information like photos, app data, login credentials, device preferences and settings, and more. As with an iCloud backup, apps themselves are downloaded directly from the App Store rather than from your existing iPhone. It may take a little longer than restoring from a backup, but the time saved from not having to log into all your apps again makes it worth the wait, which is why this process trumps the other transfer methods.
The following steps outline the Quick Start process that you can use to perform a wireless device-to-device migration. As always when transferring data between devices, make sure you have made a backup of your current iPhone, just in case anything untoward happens during the migration process.
