[@hungrr08]

Hardest working Apple tech guy on KZbin. As always this yearly guide is appreciated. Just wish my 15 pro max was coming before mid November 😏

[@jjbenjamin8488]

Just go to the store. Went from November to tomorrow for me.

[@lavishhh3247]

Trust me i have to wait till October

[@deatondavid]

I have 3 different arrival dates lol

[@chezchezchezchez]

Just get the black titanium, and it will come a month quicker. I wasn’t gonna wait until mid November. That’s silly.

[@hungrr08]

@@chezchezchezchez I’m in no rush, plus it’s the natural titanium I want 👍🏼

[@INTJMatt]

This is actually helpful for someone going from a physical sim to an eSIM. I wasn’t too sure how this would work. Thank you for posting this for people with older iPhones.

[@killswitch896]

Agreed! I unfortunately had to leave my 15 PM home to go to work as I had to wait 2 hours over my time for work, and I just got my screen and lens protector on, then started set up, the eSIM swap was quick! I thought I would have to be on the phone forever but it just asked if I wanted to swap sims and now it’s updating and my lovely 12 PM will hopefully be fixed (camera glass broke, needs replacement camera too I assume) and sold to someone else. This phone has done me well, I have always hated the connectivity compared to my Note 9 though. Here’s to the 15 being better!

[@johnjohn-jz5ry]

[@geneanderson9594]

Arron, I knew what to do, but having done it a year ago, having this refresh is incredibly helpful. Love your channel!

[@LostSoul-iq4gc]

You always explain things so clearly 😊

[@JonHall005]

Thank you for another excellent video! I get a new phone every year (it's an addiction) and I've always set up as a new phone. This makes transfer look so simple that I'm going to try it when my 15 Pro Max is delivered in a couple of weeks.

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing the transfer process. Blessings on your day!

[@VIDEOLA1]

Went EXCELLENT! Thanks! Got my 15 Pro Max set! No more going to the AT&T store! Ordered phone through AT&T and thanks to you, set it up at home! ☑️👌🏽

[@brianbrino4310]

Thank you so much for the transfer but I will have to wait another year for a new IPhone! I really enjoy your videos Aaron!

[@birdracer350lie7]

Excellent video. You described everything exactly. I just got my iPhone 15 pro max today and transferred everything from my 14 pro max. Luckily I figured it out and the new iPhone 15 pro max guided me through. The way you explained it was very helpful and from step by step was excellent. You’re the best tech video out there. Keep up the excellent content.

[@grandmastagrimm8773]

I’m trying to transfer only contacts and pics , will transferring through iCloud only do that ? I don’t want to transfer all the apps or other things I don’t use

[@denisepaige2314]

Thank you! As always useful information!

[@NoLimitJak]

Always appreciate this yearly guide!! Very good video!!

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

That was really helpful Aaron, I’ll watch it again when the 15 Pro Max arrives, I always find these things hard, but you’ve just put my mind at ease that I can do it now. Thank you! ❤😊xx

[@rleeder9956]

Great, thank you so much! Now I’m ready to start on my own transfer. Thank you.

[@auramartinez6442]

Wow you saved me a lot of time, thank you so much!!

[@thevacdude]

Thanks for the video, Aaron, as always.

[@refsvik]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@ghostfaceny2714]

Thanks zollo your always on point with the right videos at the right time I got the black iPhone 15 pro max 512 model

[@dfgg21]

Man thanks, i was having some trouble moving my data to my new phone and his video worked perfect,👍🤘

[@michaelaugust2864]

This is a great video. I just purchased a iPhone 15 Pro and not technically competent. This made it so easy to migrate to my new iPhone 15 Pro. Thank you for making it so easy.

[@vitruvian_man]

Thanks Aaron. Much appreciated.

[@user-se4ub2fs7f]

Thank you, you really made this very easy, appreciate you.

[@5150crazyfun]

Very informative video. I was a little apprehensive about transferring an eSIM as I heard last year it was a huge mess getting it set up. I’m considering getting an iPhone 15 and now I’m more convinced it’ll be a smooth transition from my iPhone XR. Definitely have to give it to Apple moving from one iPhone to another is very simple and effective.

[@bderryberry4987]

This video was such a help in switching to the 15Pro max!!

[@GoldKollector]

Very helpful video! Thanks for sharing!

[@julianvillarreal1450]

Nice job. Always helpful.

Thank you for this video it made my process so easy to do I switched from a iPhone 12 mini to a iPhone 15 pro max👍🏼

[@quadriderhonda]

Great Video aaron enjoyed it!

[@TezWashington007]

Great and to the point 🎉

[@davidplatt284]

Aaron I just received my iPhone 📲 15 Pro. In a day or two I am going to transfer all of my data from the old phone 📱. Thank you for the video! It was really helpful!

[@hatmanularbore]

Thank you❤

[@hellerjerry]

picked up my new phone today at Apple Store, watched your video and now ready to start the transfer

[@jbar_85]

I backed up on my Mac and then plugged in my new one and selected the date and time. The eSim had a little snag but it works now.

[@jasonsamuels2578]

Outstanding as always 😊

[@martidee3305]

Very helpful content as new iPhone 15 pro coming today.

[@sugargliderdude]

i still remember getting the first iphone and plugging it into my mac to sync with itunes :)

[@JustxLiving909]

Exact video I’m looking for

[@Felburg]

I just upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro from iPhone 12. Transfer went very smoothly after upgrading to iOS 17.0.2. No data loss in the transfer...even kept custom ringtone. I used the iCloud method, as with all of my previous iPhones. Only minor downside is to re-sign into some of my apps.

[@kev6t9]

okay so i have the 12 pro max and it has a sim slot so im assuming its not available for esim right? but what ur saying is the icloud method works anyway? good to know!

[@anonaminee8478]

cheers mate

[@raidraid6672]

Excellent video as usual; clear and concise.. one question please, your phone transferred from iCloud in 9 minutes, how long it would've taken to transfer directly from phone to phone?

[@jessiemccoy1062]

Greats video and I appreciate it and what doing if want use your old phone form backup phone

[@alexandrafavour8522]

Thank you for the video, however I have a question if your old iPhone hasn’t backed up for a while because of insufficient storage, what do you do to not lose those unbacked up files. Thank you.

[@thomash2604]

Nice and informative! Love it Aaron!!

[@bennolanswaggerdiaperteenbaby]

I’m getting my teachers old iPhone se2 on Tuesday. And I’m very excited

[@DavidWilson-lo9qn]

Hi, will you be doing a video on Mac OS Sonoma RC 2 please? I find all your videos to be so informative.😊

[@5464348643]

Good video. I believe it's also a good idea to to disable Find My on the old phone prior to resetting.

[@revmotor]

Awesome

[@nycx]

Great content. Just a heads up that if you want to return the 15 Pro and go back to an earlier phone, you can't go back if it is running 17.0.1 since the 15 Pro is on 17.0.2. Restoring won't work until they are both on the same software number 🤬

[@rosestines66]

Thank you so very much I really appreciate it ❤😊hopefully I won’t have to do that n I can get t-mobile to do for me

[@JavisoGaming]

Great video! Thanks. What about turning off find my and deauthorize iTunes from old iPhone?

[@annethompson791]

Aaron, which iPhone were you upgrading from in this video? Thanks. Really appreciate your helpful videos.

[@brandonnoyb3191]

Thank you for this video. I usually back mine up on iTunes. So I need to make sure I’m on the finally release before I restore mine? Right now I still have the text tone issue trying to wait till 17.1 to come out first.

[@farside51]

Wow great tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m getting my new 15pro delivered this week and have to transfer everything from my iPhone 7 to the new iPhone. This will save me a trip to the local Apple Store.

[@adangarcia9063]

Did that work cause my old iPhone is the 10/X and I’m not sure if mine is available to do that

[@AFGixxeR88]

Question. As a content creator you probably take lots of photos. What’s the best way o organize them? You can put them in albums but they still stay under your camera roll taking up space

[@stevensalazar3653]

Oh man, I was looking for this video yesterday. I thought transfering data directly from one phone to another was faster than via iCloud. Now I know better. Unfortunately, I started the transfer before watching this video. At the beginning I got a message that my phone number could not be transferred. I'm hoping I can do it smoothly right after transfering everything. I'm moving from iPhone 14 Pro Max to 15 Pro Max with an eSim. I wanted to ask you, if you're upgrading both your iPhone and Apple Watch, is there a preferred sequence? Does it make a difference if you move to the new watch first or to the new phone first?

[@CrechurBoy]

@zollotech Aaron, have you noticed with ios17 custom and purchased text tones are gone? You can see them under ringtones, but you cannot select them as text tones.

[@TerryCobban]

Thanks

[@zollotech]

Wow, thank you!

[@cognaccologne6869]

Always great support. Where is the new 15 pro max made?

[@bretharris8615]

I watched other videos that did not solve the iPhone 15 data transfer problem. This is the only video you need to watch.

[@Wavenoam]

Zollotech 👍

[@Starfucker7777]

Nice detailed review ! As far as i understand (not like apple says) you DONT have to disconnect the Watch from the old phone! Right ? It's included in the Transfer process THX

[@edschulhof6303]

The side by side transfer of everything from my iPhone 8 Plus to the new phone went without a problem. It took a 20 minute phone call to my provider to activate the eSim on the new phone. The phones could not connect to transfer my number. Because the 8 has a physical sim? Good video. Regarding photos. I copy all photos to my computer. Then back up on an external hard drive.

[@danielgartin-oh9ik]

Quick Start actually transfers iTunes music as well

[@quadriderhonda]

Got your notification aaron

[@ashwinsubramanian5464]

I have been waiting for your video since morning here in the UK as my 15 Pro was delivered today. Had to transfer from 13 Pro to 15 Pro on my own 😭

[@bofty]

It’s the same as every other year, just watch other videos

[@GaryJELee]

Hey, which ultra strap are you using? Looks good.

[@mercury1384]

Good video, I watched it at 1.75x speed

[@subayakambeyanda]

Wouldn’t a transfer from a backup on the Mac be better on the new phone? For reference I’m currently using the iPhone 11 and when I upgraded to this phone, while using the direct transfer data it didn’t transfer everything so I had to factory reset and upload the backup from my Mac. Not sure if that’s still the same or not. I’ve got a 15 pro on order so I was wondering which would be the best method

[@naishalubega3756]

Very important video Last time I bought a new device I wasn’t sure what to do

[@Yigit_Hacioglu]

Hi Aaron! What if we try a data cable between old and new iphone ? Will it work or can be faster ?

[@farside51]

Good to know it’ll sync my Apple Watch. Wonder if it’ll also do my four air tags.

[@wtflexus6427]

Was hoping you would cover what to do with old phone. Not sure if I need to delete old SIM card

[@evelynkniaz1990]

Transfer was pretty smooth with no issues, Apple Watch was were problems started. Had to wipe watch clean and add it as new watch. Thought there would be an easier way ?

[@neerajmurali1336]

Do you have to sign out of Apple ID on the old phone before doing a factory reset? In case I wish to sell the old phone, the new owner shouldn’t face issues.

[@silvrray]

Hello Aaron. I just moved from iPhone to android. I look forward to your videos for news. Do you do android updates as well or only iOS? I will really miss your updates.

[@tedjarman4686]

5:27 On my new iPhone i have the "make this your new iPhone" screen, however i still have "finish on new iPhone" on my old phone, any recommendation on what i should do?

[@GiuseppeBasile]

Very helpful Aaron, my 15 pro max arrives in a week and will be following this video to transfer. Upgrading from the 11 pro max. Did the Apple Watch end up pairing successfully? Do you recommend unpairing from the old phone first and re pairing with the new phone? TIA

[@glassapple2970]

Wondering about this as well

[@biancayngente3711]

When is the best time to take out the physical sim to transfer to the new phone? Is it before you do anything or just about when promted with the message “transfer your phone number?

[@iemjay]

Does anyone else just like starting from scratch? I mean, I’ll make a minimal backup of what is associated with my iCloud account like messages, notes, calendar and stuff that’s shared with my mac, and I always move all my photos to onedrive, but apart from that, I love doing fresh installs. I do that every year, even when I don’t buy new phones.

[@dr.nunzio_improta]

I am on iPhone SE 2016 with 15.7.9 Can I do this procedure ? And if not, what is the best procedure for my case ? Thank you.

[@saikrishna0512]

can you please make a video of steps using backup using Mac and with no old iPhone

[@MrIronstormbird]

Will banking apps, MFA Apps work fine? Or i still need to pair the apps to my phone?

[@W3ZAP]

Question: What if you are transfereing more than one e-sim? I have ATT and Verizon on my 14 pro max and want to transfer both to my new 15 pro max...

[@Coldiplier50]

Will you do an unboxing of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus?

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Aaron, Can you do this (transfer from phone to phone) if you do not have home internet? I have an iPad and iPhone the iPad I power with my iPhone hotspot. Can I just use one phone's hotspot and / or the mobile phone's data to power the transfer?

[@myleshodges2999]

If I transfer directly from the phone instead of iCloud will I have to do the restart of the old iPhone all at once or I can individually delete stuff unlike the iCloud version

[@Teccie46]

Here's a great tip, don't expect your backup to simply reinstall the line app - any backup refuses to install line. Make sure you link the line app within the app so after you download it you can use that linked account to get your account back. Not sure if this is a problem with line or a problem within the cloud backup. Caused me no end of stress as i had already wiped my old phone after backup :(

[@3375merc]

How did you make out with your Apple Watch? Did it pair successfully?

[@user-fu3vg5cu8z]

When you choose to erase all content and settings does that automatically turn off your find my feature on the old phone or do I still need to turn off Find My feature prior to a complete erase? I'm upgrading from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 15 plus and wasn't sure. I'm trading the 11 in with my carrier and wanted to make sure I did disable the Find My feature.

[@veenykonn]

what if my icloud is full ?my icloud are not sync my photo for more than a year, would it still work to transfer all my photo to my new iphone?

[@sugarmint5240]

Hi Aaron, is there any option if we don’t want to transfer photo from old phone?

[@troywilson1529]

I went from a 14 Pro to the 15 Pro (eSIM to eSIM). I’m keeping the 14. When I went to erase it, the option to keep or delete the eSIM came up. I kept it the eSIM. Was that the correct option?
