iPhone migration is the easiest way, make sure have powerful wifi networks, enough of battery level, Bluetooth turn on

For those who are curious cat like me. Lightning cable is faster despite it being on the pathetic usb 2.0 tech.

Scenario, I have 100gb used on my 256gb units.

Placing them side by side, i've tested usbc-lightning cable restore from PC to new ip12pro, and then for comparison after i wiped my ip11pro i tried wirelessly transfer from ip12pro to ip11pro

cable took 1 hr 4 mins
wireless took 1 hr 30 mins.

both 100% battery
connected to 5Ghz wifi6 less than 1 meter away from router.
both phones tested on speedtest to clock over 880-900+mbps transfer rate, in case someone is wondering about my router's performance.

I was expecting wifi transfer to be faster, but no. I have no conclusion to why but to suspect wifi might have poorer overhead in transferring smaller files.

Think along ssd/hdd benchmarking or copying, with more smaller files the throughput suffers badly.

Hi,

May I know is there a method that I can start the phone as a new phone.
Then sync only the photos from old phone to new 12 pro ?

iCloud. u can turn off everything except e photos. of course u need enough space on iCloud. or I guess using Google Photos/other photo backup services wud work.

this set up needs pc to be connected to one of the phone?

Actually you can set up as new phone and just use back the same account. All photos will still be synced.

For example you set up a new iPad, all photos will be sync

I think u’re referring to “My Photo Stream”? that only keeps e last 30 days photos (up to 1000 photos) in sync.

Yes sir! I’m at my pc day in day out. Has iTunes sync on plug in. So for me my backup never aged more than a day.

For me it’s convenient.

Hi, I watched the video, and as the new iphone is not updated with IOS 14.2, as a result, I needed to updated the IOS and hooked on to my wifi, after that, the new iphone is "reconnecting" mode, I wonder if it is correct as when I tried to "cancel", it says do you want to stop transferring data? I am aware it takes about 30-40 mins. I just wish to know if it is correct? Thanks in advance.

Hi. May I know if the wireless data transfer between 2 iPhones will also transfer all WhatsApp chat records and photos in WhatsApp? Do I have to back up the WhatsApp data in the old phone to iCloud first?

Thank you.

Hi, I am not expert but what I did was I backup everything icluding WA to iCloud and later just restored it from iCloud to my new iphone when prompted. It is all back to the new iphone, meaning exactly similar to your old iphone. But for some Apps, I needed to redo eg SingPass, POSB App and few more. Hope it helps? Thanks.

Does this mean that phone-phone transfer by cable is even faster than iTunes restore via cable?
