When getting a new iPhone, it’s important to transfer all your data and information from your old device to the new one. While iCloud is a popular option for transferring data between iPhones, it’s not always the most convenient or accessible.

How to Transfer Data from iPhone to iPhone Without iCloud
If you want to transfer data from one iPhone to another without using iCloud, there are a few different methods you can use:
- Use a direct cable connection: You can transfer data from one iPhone to another using a Lightning to USB cable. First, connect the two iPhones with the cable. Then, on the source iPhone, go to “Settings” > “General” > “Reset” > “Erase All Content and Settings.” This will erase everything on the source iPhone, so make sure you’ve backed up anything you want to keep. Next, follow the prompts to set up the new iPhone, and choose “Restore from iTunes backup.” Select the backup of the source iPhone that you just made, and the data will be transferred to the new iPhone.
- Use third-party software: There are many third-party software programs available that can help you transfer data from one iPhone to another. Some popular options include iMazing, AnyTrans, and Syncios. These programs allow you to transfer a wide range of data, including contacts, messages, photos, videos, music, and more.
- Use AirDrop: AirDrop is a built-in feature on iPhones that allows you to wirelessly transfer files between devices. To use AirDrop to transfer data from one iPhone to another, first make sure that both iPhones are connected to Wi-Fi and have Bluetooth turned on. Then, on the source iPhone, go to the app containing the data you want to transfer (e.g. Photos). Select the files you want to transfer, and tap the “Share” icon. From the sharing options, select the other iPhone that you want to transfer the files to. The files will be transferred wirelessly over AirDrop.
These are just a few of the options available for transferring data from one iPhone to another without using iCloud. Choose the one that works best for you based on your needs and preferences.
how to Transfer Everything from iPhone to iPhone with iTunes Backup
If you want to transfer everything from one iPhone to another using an iTunes backup, here are the steps you can follow:
- Connect your old iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
- Click on the iPhone icon in the top left corner of iTunes.
- Under “Backups,” select “This computer” and then click “Back Up Now.” This will create a backup of your old iPhone on your computer.
- Once the backup is complete, disconnect your old iPhone from your computer and connect your new iPhone.
- On your new iPhone, go through the initial setup process until you reach the “Apps & Data” screen.
- Select “Restore from iTunes Backup” and then connect your new iPhone to your computer.
- In iTunes, select your new iPhone and then click “Restore Backup.”
- Choose the backup that you just created of your old iPhone and click “Restore.”
- Wait for the restore process to complete. Your new iPhone will restart and then display the same settings, apps, and data that were on your old iPhone.
It’s important to note that this method will replace all of the data on your new iPhone with the data from your old iPhone. If you have any data on your new iPhone that you want to keep, make sure to back it up before starting the restore process.
I hope this helps you transfer everything from your old iPhone to your new iPhone using an iTunes backup!
