With the release of the iOS 12.4 updates, users can now migrate data from an old iPhone to a new iPhone when setting up the device. The updated configuration option for iPhone now makes it possible to set up a new device, since it is now easier to migrate data locally from an old iPhone. Before iOS 12.4 update, it was only possible to transfer the settings, but now users can transfer all the data just like a real backup. In this guide, I will teach you how to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone.
