Do I still need to transfer everything to my new phone?
I went from and iphone 5 to an iphone 7. (I know, still kinda old) I had to do it for a reason not cuz I wanted to. I've only had it for 2 days. Either way, when I got it at the phone company they said that I had to do an icloud backup on my old phone so it'd be recently backed up so I could transfer all my stuff to the new phone. But the internet at my house isn't that great and the phone wasn't able to do the backup. I did try other places with Wi-Fi but it didn't work either.
What I did instead was just airdrop all the pics that I wanted from my old phone to my new one. And reinstall the apps I wanted. They're all the sign in kind, so I didn't lose anything. And my music got transferred over when I signed in with my Apple ID. Basically since I have everything that I wanted from my old phone, do I still need to do the backup?
If you've got all you need, then you're done!
Normally, a phone fully signed in to iCloud is constantly mirroring stuff like the address book, calendar and photos up to the cloud anyway, and are copied right back down when your new phone, tablet or computer are signed in, so even then you wouldn't need the backup if you're not doing much more than that. But it's good to have, you know?
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- May I delete everything on my iphone 4s once everything had been transfer to icloud? I have been a iphone user for almost three years and I'm going to trade in my 4s to get the iphone 5. Right now, I'm starting to figure out icloud work and it's a little bit confusing. So I want to know if it's okay if I can delete everything once my contacts, photos, and other stuff had been transfer? Because I do not want to lose my stuff and never get it back!
- Is it possible to use the same apple ID for a new phone but not have everything from the old phone transfer over? I was just wondering because I will be getting a new iPhone and I want to still use my current apple ID, but have a clean slate and choose what transfers over.
- If I put my old SIM card into my new iPhone will everything still remain the same? I just want my number to stay the same and my tariff/package that I pay for every month to stay the same? Need a bit advice, I currently have an iPhone 6s at the moment. I'm not too fussed about keeping all my photos etc cos tbh most of them are on Facebook but as long as my number and monthly package stays the same that's all I'm bothered about
