Copy over your iPhone data

By BD Bondy

Unfortunately, iPhones need replacing. Just like I never thought I’d spend $6 for a coffee (thank you Starbucks), I never thought I’d spend $1000 for a phone. Now, the phone is way more than a phone, obviously, and that iced decaf americano with 6 pumps vanilla syrup, foam cream  and cinnamon is well worth 6 bucks, but how often do I need one?

Verizon seems to want me to get a new phone every day or so, judging by the emails and messages I get. Certainly as often as I get a Starbucks coffee, and both are excessive, I admit. Still, I did get a new iPhone this year and I did have to transfer the data. While not as easy as not doing it, and only a little more difficult than having the Verizon guy do it, remember those days?, it was still pretty easy.

The best thing to do is back it all up to cloud storage and then let it all download to the new phone. It’s an option on Android and iPhone both, so don’t be afraid, but plan to do it before you get the new phone. It’s good to think about these things before you find yourself having to do it at the last minute.

If it’s a brand new Android or iPhone, then before you start using it, it’s even easier to transfer as the new phone will prompt you to transfer data from an old phone when you first set it up.
