How to transfer data to a new iPhone
If you have both the old and the new iPhonethen you can do without creating a backup in iCloud – “Quick Start” will transfer everything for you.
- Once you have selected your language and region, select “Quick Start” to migrate your data.
- Bring your old iPhone running iOS 11 or later and you’ll see a notification that the transfer is ready.
- Scan the encrypted message in the form of a balloon on the new iPhone.
- Enter the passcode for your old iPhone.
The process takes some time. Do not interrupt the process, otherwise you will have to start over. Also, if you missed this feature when you first started your iPhone and the transfer notification doesn’t appear, you can find it in iOS Settings:
- Go to Settings, select “General”.
- At the very bottom, select Transfer or Reset iPhone.
- Click Get Started.
What settings to turn off on iPhone
By default, not the most necessary functions are included in the iPhone, which only interfere. After activating your iPhone, you can safely turn them off.
- Raise to activate iPhone. At first, this feature seems convenient, but only until the moment when you start using your iPhone too actively: you can hold the iPhone in your hand, and the screen will automatically turn on. You can turn it off by going to Settings and selecting “Screen and Brightness» — «Raise to activate“.
- Screen Time on iPhone. The function is designed to dose the use of different applications: from games and social networks to a browser and messengers. Unfortunately, over time, it only harms: constant notifications about the restriction only enrage, and weekly reports are of little use. Feel free to turn off screen time in Settings – “screen time» — «Turn off Screen Time“.
- iPhone Sounds. Keyboard clicks and other sound notifications are turned on by default on your iPhone. Unfortunately, keyboard sounds are not needed: they do not always coincide with pressing during typing, and they also interfere when AirPods are connected to the iPhone. Disable in Settings – “Sounds and tactile cues» — «Keyboard clicks“.
- Auto update on iPhone. This applies to new versions of iOS so that the iPhone does not automatically download them: you should be able to review the updates before installing them. Disabled like this: Settings – “Main» — «Software Update» — «Auto update“.
What features to enable on iPhone
When launching a new iPhone for the first time, some features can be skipped, while others are important to enable immediately upon activation of the iPhone so as not to delay.
- Set up Apple Pay. Usually, Apple Pay settings get lost after data transfer. Add the required payment cards immediately during iPhone activation.
- Face ID on iPhone. One of the most important functions to protect your smartphone, which is better to activate immediately.
- Location service on iPhone. Despite all kinds of criticism of geolocation, it is better to enable this feature immediately and not disable it. The work of the Locator depends on it: you can track where not only your devices, but also members of the Family are, and also find your iPhone if you lose it.
