Awesome video!!! I’m going to set my wife’s new iPhone 13 Pro Max up with the quick start. Great job explaining how this works, and I’m confident I can do it now, after watching video. Quick question, after transfer is done, is that when I switch the SIM card over to new phone? Sorry if this is a stupid question but you seem nice and sincere enough to answer. Thanks again!!!

[@DHTV]

Hey glad the video was helpful for you. To be honest, I put the SIM card in after all the time mainly because I always forget to switch it. Apples community support setup instructions do mention putting the SIM in before the transfer though.

[@DHTV]

Thanks. When you say mobile services do you mean the SIM card? If so, Apple has it listed to be inserted first but I have done it first, after, removed it while the phone was on and never has an issue.

[@shaileshs.ghadge9537]

Very properly explained video. But, could you please also include Sim setup & importing contacts, etc from Google account if previous phone was Android based.

Have my new iPhone 13 pro max. Is the phone to phone set up the best option? I have always set it up from my MacBook Pro. Is this a fairly new option? Great channel.

[@DHTV]

Phone to phone is easiest and basically just transfers everything. It's been around a bit, I use that method pretty much every iPhone I get now. Thanks for the comment!

Do messages from whatsapp on your old iPhone traansfer to the new one if we press the transfer thing.

[@kkiernan244]

Hi, great video. I have a new new iPhone 13 pro max. I want to transfer my contents from old phone iPhone 8 Plus. Can this method of transfer be used with an older phone that is not 5G

[@DHTV]

Yeah as far as I know it should work assuming it’s updated to a newer version of iOS.

[@holaevans]

We did everything you said and got to final step - but it always says New iPhone not activated and says turn off find my iPhone on the old phone. But it is turned off. Is that a Verizon thing or an Apple thing? Thank you for the video though, very helpful to know we have been doing it right, Keep up the good work.

[@DHTV]

Hmm it’s odd, seems like for whatever reason it thinks the iPhones Find my is on. Either it’s glitching or there is something up with the setting actually being on. You might want to contact Apple or Verizon. It could be something simple but without seeing the whole process it’s hard for me to know.

[@lolocabacana]

Hello thanks for the tutorial 🙏 I’ve been trying to find info on how to sync an older iphone to my new 13 Pro Max but since the older iphone was my mom’s who passed away and had tons of photos , I don’t want all her data on my new one so the suggestion is to do it manually?? can I manually sync photos? And even if I do a backup to icloud it will still get all that data into my new iphone :(

[@DHTV]

Sorry about your mom. Any transfer you do from iPhone to iPhone would transfer all the data unless you manually send pictures and files. There are ways to send the photos manually phone to phone with airdrop, messages, or things like Google drive. You can also send the pictures to a computer. As for the rest of the data like messages, voicemails notes it’s more difficult and you would have to search up how for each. It’s hard to advise the best method but if it were me, I’d back everything up to a computer, send all the photos to the computer as well and then keep everything on her phone. If ever the phone breaks a new iPhone could be used to run the backups.

[@lolocabacana]

@@DHTV Thanks for your response:) There are up to 14k pictures. I guess I can backup to a computer or drive then delete from the iphone b4 syncing. Like you said all the other important data like notes etc world be harder to sync manually.

I have a question. If u dont do icloud backup from previous iphone does ur data still transfer like photos contacts and apps and so on?

[@roemanghisi8773]

my set up stopped due to internet disconnection, how do I re-start set up from iphone 8 to iphone 13? Thanks, great videos.

Restart the new phone and it should go back to setup depending on where it stopped.

[@vernyvnails8248]

Can I do the face scan with glasses on? And, if I do will I always need to have them on or vice versa?

You can and would most likely need them on if they are sun glasses, but you can add multiple faces in the passcode and Face ID settings later. So do one with glasses and one without.

Not sure if the region your iPhone is in prevents the languages but there are settings in the settings app to change it after setup. Also if the 6s is not saying it will erase, check to make sure all the data is still there and contact Apple for info on why it keeps failing to transfer.
