Hi Guys, Matt from 123myit here. If you have a new iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro or 13 Pro Max In this video, we will show you two free ways to transfer your data from any iPhone to the new iPhone 13. The first way is recommended by Apple but it requires you to reset your iPhone 13. If you don’t want to reset your iPhone then fast forward to the 5.24 min mark and I will show you how to Transfer your data without resetting your iPhone.
This video will help you transfer your contacts, message history, camera photos and videos. Web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars and free apps.
What you can transfer.
Tips before you start.
- Create a backup
- Make sure both phones are on WIFI and plugged into Power
- Make sure that you have enough storage space on your iPhone 13
- If you have a sim card you can transfer that after the data is transferred
The phones that we are using today are Samsung S21 and the iPhone 13 Pro.
