Transfer your iCloud backup to your new iPhone

Step 1: Turn on your new device and follow the setup instructions until you see the “Hello” screen. If you have already set up your new device, you need to erase it first before you can restore it from iCloud.

Step 2: Connect your new device to a Wi-Fi network and continue the setup process until you reach the “Apps & Data” screen. Then, tap “Restore from iCloud Backup“.

Step 3: Sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID and password and choose a backup to restore. Make sure you select the most recent backup of your previous device. You may need to update your new device to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS before you can restore it.

Step 4: If you have used multiple Apple IDs to buy iTunes or App Store content, you will need to sign in to each one. If you don’t remember the passwords, you can skip this step by tapping “Don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it“.

Step 5: Wait for the restore process to finish and keep your new device connected to Wi-Fi and power. This will allow your photos, music, apps, and other iCloud content to download automatically to your new device.

Step 6: Complete the rest of the setup steps on your new device and enjoy using it.
