[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1940380, member: 83420"] I have read your initial presentation/post with great interest, Rod. In my early days with iDevices, I backed up regularly via USB to my Mac - and equally, used that method for transferring everything from Mac to the new iDevice. I always found the process reliable and relatively quick. I still BU to my Mac to this day. I do use iMazing as a BU, but not tried to transfer data to new iDevice, as yet. Sometime after that when it became possible, I transferred from old to new iPhone directly, at that time, by scanning the code on one and keeping the two close together. I found that a great hassle. (But since then, I believe that the practical aspects involved in iPhone-to-iPhone transfer have improved; as stated by you and Jake). For the last two transfers, it has been achieved by using the iCloud method. And overall, that's been flawless. But if I was helping a "newbie" to transfer to a new iPhone, I think I would advise the first option - ie - by USB from Mac to iPhone/iPad. Only because once connected all you have to do is initiate the transfer and then go and get a coffee or have a lie down, whatever. The bottom line, like so many things in life, is to stick to the method with which you feel most comfortable ;) ;) . Ian [/QUOTE]
