If you bought a new iPhone or inherited one from a family member or friend, you probably have questions about What is the best method to configure this new iPhone. Do it from scratch by configuring it manually? Use the backup and put back all the garbage you had in the previous one? Use quick settings? We explain all the methods and their advantages and disadvantages.
When setting up a new iPhone, always The question arises as to what is the best way to proceed?. Many opt for the quick method of putting a backup copy of the previous model, so that in a few minutes everything is exactly as it was on the iPhone you just left. Others prefer to do it from scratch and manually configure the new iPhone, step by step, entering all accounts and changing the device settings until you have it the way you want, this which takes a lot of time. Apple also offers us the possibility of using the old iPhone to configure the new one. How do we do it?
- And we configure the iPhone as new We will have an iPhone clean of all the garbage that we accumulated on the previous phone. How many apps have you downloaded and are taking up space and you don’t even remember the last time you used them? Now is the perfect time to clean and reinstall only what you really need, so you have free space for the photos and videos that fill your gallery. After all, a lot of data is stored in iCloud, like users and passwords of your favorite websites and apps, photographs (if you have reserved extra space, of course), even many third-party apps, video games and many others. other data is stored in iCloud. They are stored in the Apple cloud and as soon as you enter your account, everything appears. It’s not as much work as it seems.
- And we use our iPhone backup old, we will have everything exactly the same in the new in a very short time. We will no longer need to download the apps or organize all the icons into folders again, we will have all our users and passwords already entered into the apps, our emails configured and settings exactly as we have them planes before. But we will also have all the garbage that we have accumulated for months (or years) on the old iPhone, so we could immediately run out of space on the new iPhone, even noticing that it does not work very well with a greater battery consumption. This method does not have all the advantages.
- And we use the quick setup system from Apple, by placing the old iPhone next to the new one, with WiFi and Bluetooth active, when you start configuring the new terminal it will detect it and we can use a quick configuration system that we can say is a mixture between the two previous ones. It’s fast (not like backup but much faster than if we do it as new), it doesn’t drag around a lot of junk and in my experience it usually doesn’t cause problems.
Which of the three methods do you use? I tell you my experience after years of changing iPhones and configure the new model with the different methods I told you about. In the video everything is perfectly explained and with the steps to follow.
