Are you planning to improve to a brand new iPhone 16? It’s thrilling, we all know, nevertheless it’s finest to proceed intentionally when establishing your new iPhone to keep away from inflicting your self complications. Observe these directions once you’re able to switch your knowledge—and, for many individuals, a lot of your digital life—to the brand new iPhone. Apple additionally has a collection of movies you’ll be able to watch.

  1. Replace your outdated iPhone to the newest model of iOS. If in case you have an Apple Watch, replace it to the newest model of watchOS. This course of can take a while, so it could be finest finished in a single day earlier than you progress knowledge to your new iPhone.
  2. Be sure you know your Apple ID and password, and when you’ve got an Apple Watch, its passcode. You’ll seemingly need to enter them at the least as soon as throughout this course of.
  3. Again up your outdated iPhone to iCloud or your Mac. (Should you again as much as a Mac, you’ll want to encrypt the backup, or else it gained’t embody saved passwords, Wi-Fi settings, shopping historical past, Well being knowledge, and name historical past.) Or again as much as each, for security’s sake. We desire iCloud backups as a result of they’re simpler and don’t introduce further variables, like flaky USB cables. Should you don’t often again as much as iCloud, Apple offers you short-term iCloud storage to make a backup when shifting to a brand new iPhone. To provoke an iCloud backup, go to Settings > Your Title > iCloud > iCloud Backup and faucet Again Up Now.
  4. If in case you have an Apple Watch, you don’t have to unpair it out of your outdated iPhone at this level within the course of. (Later, if the automated switch has not labored, you’ll be able to unpair it manually and pair it once more later. If you find yourself taking the handbook route and have a mobile Apple Watch, you’ll be requested if you wish to preserve or take away your plan. Should you’re preserving your Apple Watch to re-pair along with your new iPhone, preserve the plan.)
  5. You shouldn’t want to fret about transferring a SIM card. Should you ordered your new iPhone via Apple and related to your mobile provider account throughout buy, activating the brand new iPhone ought to trigger it to take over your telephone quantity. The identical must be true in case you’ve bought immediately via your provider. Moreover, it’s seemingly that iPhone 16 fashions offered within the US will depend on eSIM and lack SIM trays just like the iPhone 15, so solely non-US customers may have to switch the SIM card from the outdated iPhone to the brand new one. Even then, it’s higher to contact your provider and get them to activate the brand new SIM within the new iPhone as a result of outdated SIMs don’t at all times help all present mobile options, comparable to full 5G help.
  6. Switch your knowledge, settings, apps, and bought content material in one in every of these 3 ways. None of them will probably be fast, regardless of the primary one’s identify, so provoke the switch solely when you will have loads of time:
    • Fast Begin: With the Fast Begin function, content material out of your outdated iPhone copies immediately out of your outdated iPhone to your new one. We suggest this system as a result of it’s extra more likely to protect app logins, one thing that’s much less true when restoring from an iCloud backup. Put your iPhones subsequent to one another (plugged into energy), use the outdated iPhone to scan the animation on the brand new one, after which comply with the remainder of the steps.
    • iCloud: With this system, the brand new iPhone will obtain your content material out of your outdated iPhone’s iCloud backup. When you’ve joined a Wi-Fi community on the brand new iPhone and tapped the Restore from iCloud Backup button, you’ll have to pick out the right backup—seemingly the latest one you simply made. Hold your new iPhone plugged into energy all the time to make sure that all of your content material syncs throughout this step.
    • Finder or iTunes: With this strategy, you’ll restore your outdated iPhone’s content material from a backup made to your Mac. Join your new iPhone to your Mac utilizing an applicable cable, open a Finder window (or iTunes on an outdated Mac), choose your machine within the left-hand sidebar, click on Restore Backup, and select the suitable backup—seemingly the latest one.
  7. Carry out post-transfer duties. Guarantee which you could make and obtain a telephone name. If needed, pair your Apple Watch with the brand new iPhone. You’ll additionally have to pair your Bluetooth equipment—together with AirPods—along with your new iPhone. Plus, some app knowledge must sync to your new iPhone, so open the Mail, Contacts, and Calendar apps and examine if they’ve your knowledge. It may take a couple of minutes for them to refill. Apps might request notification permissions once more, and you might have to obtain content material and in-app purchases.
  8. Should you use two-factor authentication with an app like 1Password, Authy, or Google Authenticator, guarantee you will get your 2FA codes utilizing your new iPhone. 1Password and Authy are good about offering entry to 2FA codes from a number of gadgets—simply log in to your account from every machine—however Google Authenticator might require some further setup because it didn’t initially supply any option to switch codes to a brand new telephone.
  9. Lastly, if needed, arrange single sign-on for work or faculty. In case your office or faculty makes use of a safety system like Duo, you’ll seemingly need to activate your new iPhone and deactivate the outdated one. Utilizing any machine, navigate to a regular single sign-in login display out of your group, search for a hyperlink for managing your logins, click on that hyperlink, and comply with the prompts.

Though Apple works exhausting to make the method of transferring from an outdated iPhone to a brand new one as painless as doable, some issues might fail to switch seamlessly. For that motive, we strongly suggest holding onto your outdated iPhone for per week or so to make sure the brand new one can do all the pieces the outdated one may. Throughout that point, put the brand new iPhone via its paces with an eye fixed towards checking each app you want.
