Side by side iPhone migration is the easiest way

this is 100% transfer?
1) photos/videos
2) mail accounts
3) device setting like bluetooth device
4) wechat history
5) whatsapp history

I done twice from X to XR and XR to 12, so far I didn’t find any photos, videos, mails and chats in WhatsApp missing. Make sure you turn on the Bluetooth on the old phone, ensure powerful wifi is connected and also sufficient battery level

Shouldn’t have any issues. Just double back up to iCloud to be safe.

Make sure do migration in middle of night else you may miss a few messages if let’s say someone WhatsApp or sms u during the process.

Yup I second this

Very easy to transfer and takes maximum 2 hours

You just have to set up your Apple Pay , Face ID and those banking digital apps.

So after doing the transferring of data using the side by side method, can proceed to delete all data in the old phone? It will not affect the new phone hor?

When you say delete, do you mean manually delete or erase all content & settings? If you are using iCloud sync, manually delete will delete sync content like photos, contacts, notes etc from your other devices including your new iPhone.

Correct way is to erase all content & settings.

To add on, prior to pressing the Erase all contents & settings button, must press: Settings>At the top our own profile pic the iCloud icon>Sign out at the bottom. iPhone will ask us - keep a copy of contacts, safari, photos etc...all push to the ‘No’ tab.

what are the possibility of failure doing the phone to phone migration?

I know require both phone to be on the same software version. but does it mean like 14.2 and 14.2 or just both version 14 will do (one phone can be 14.1 and the other on 14.2) ?

iPhone migration required both iPhone to be running the same software, in the midst during the migration it will prompt either of the iPhone to update to the latest software in order to complete the process.
Given now the iPhone 12 series latest software is iOS 14.2.1 and the previous iPhone model lasted software is iOS 14.2, so it might just required the previous model of iPhone to be in iOS 14.2 and the iPhone 12 series to be iOS 14.2.1

ya..I was afraid that they require both to be 14.2.1 and my iphone 7 will not get this version...and I will be screwed..
