[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1866405, member: 396914"] I have used the Quick Start in the past and it worked very well. This year, not so well. I'm in the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program where I pay 1/24th of the cost each month for two years, get eligible for a trade in after 12 months, so basically I get a new iPhone every year by just paying what I think of as "rental" on the phone. So I do the swap more frequently than most folks. The Quick Start in previous years transferred everything flawlessly, including all email accounts (I have four), all calendar and information, all my logins and just about everything but the OS. Even my history in some games I play, along with my playlists and recent music played. Basically, at the end of the process the new was exactly like the old, even to the placement of app icons. So, I expected it to work this year as well. But apparently Verizon changed processes internally that broke the transfer. So now, for Verizon, Manual is the better choice because you can activate and then do the slower transfer via backup/restore. it's entirely your call, but as far as I have been able to determine, only Verizon requires no WiFi connection before activation. Good luck with iMazing. I used to have it, got rid of it because of some serious issues I had with it. [/QUOTE]
