Getting Ready to use Your New iPhone or iPad
If you’re upgrading your iPhone or iPad from an older model to a newer one, the initial setup and activation process for the new device has been streamlined, thanks to iOS 11. You can take advantage of the Automatic Setup option, which combines retrieving your content from your iCloud account and wirelessly transferring information (including your personal settings and preferences, along with your iCloud Keychain data) between your older iPhone or iPad and your new one. Be prepared to place your old device next to the new one during the Automatic Setup process.
Note
Attention Android phone users! If you’re switching to an iPhone from any Android-based smartphone (running the Android 4.0 or later operating system), first of all, what took you so long? Second, Apple provides an app-based tool to seamlessly and wirelessly migrate your data and content to the iPhone.
On your Android device, download and install the free Move to iOS app from the Google Play Store and follow the on-screen prompts to transfer your contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, email account information, and calendar/scheduling information.
Note
Need help migrating to a new iPhone or iPad? Within 90 days of purchasing the new device (or within two years, if you acquired AppleCare+), visit the Apple Store and be sure to bring along both your new and old smartphones or tablets to receive free assistance. If you go on a different day than the day when you purchase the new iPhone or iPad, you need to make a free appointment with an Apple Genius. Visit https://getsupport.apple.com.
