Introduction

If you've recently upgraded from your old iPhone 6S after using it for seven to eight years, you might find yourself unsure about how to transfer your data to your new phone. Don’t worry; this article will guide you through the process of transferring your data, whether you are moving to an iPhone 11 or the latest iPhone 16.

In this guide, we will cover two effective methods for transferring your old data:

Method 1: Use Quick Start to Transfer Data

If your new iPhone has already been set up, you might have missed the initial data transfer. Thankfully, you can still trigger the transfer again by following these steps:

Turn on your new iPhone.
Navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
Here, you'll need to erase all the data on your new iPhone. After this process, your device will restart and display the "Hello" screen.
Your iPhone 6S will show a new window stating "Set up new iPhone." Tap Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

Keep in mind that this process may take some time, especially if you have a lot of data to transfer.

Note for Existing Data

If your new phone has been in use for a while and contains new data you don’t want to lose, skip the reset and try Method 2.
