?Interesting, Alice. ?Do you recall any warning message when you first tried to transfer everything to the new iPhone? ?I didn’t recall one…if there isn’t one, we need to send a recommendation to Apple. ?I mentioned it to Seth, the Apple guy who diligently hung in till everything was working.

That was my iPhone 11 also. My iPhone 8 Plus was on the Public Beta and the iPhone 11 wasn’t. I had to put the iPhone 11 on the Public Beta to be able to restore from the backup. Worked beautifully once the iPhone 11 was updated to the Public Beta.?

?I called Apple and got it resolved. ?The problem I experienced, apparently, was caused by the fact that my old iPhone had a newer version of iOS (the latest 13.1.3) and the brand new iPhone 11 had an older version.

Interesting. ?I don’t recall getting any message during the process that this situation existed and suggesting what to do (or better yet, not allowing me to proceed till it was addressed). ?I suspect it’s pretty common.

Once I updated the new iPhone, the usual process went thru smoothly.

Thanks for trying to help, gang!

Just went through this with my wife's phone.? It is pretty good about transferring all old messages and photos.? If you want music and movies, you have to use iTunes or something like Anytrans to clone the phone.? I just use Anytrans - that way the new phone is identical in every way to the old one including 10,000 songs and several movies.??

Turned on new iPhone and followed Apple instructions.? Got past the info regarding my current phone provider.

Now my old iPhone is saying “keep phone near new phone will information is transferred” and the new iPhone is saying “it may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone”.

Been like this for about 20 minutes now.? What I don’t know is, if my information is being transferred or it’s about activation.? Transferring could take an hour, from past experience.? Activation should be pretty quick….and that would be followed by transferring.

Anyone who has been thru this recently who can tell me what to expect?? Is it just ‘activating’ or is it really transferring?? Should I just wait an hour or is something hung up.? No feedback from the phones.

TIA gang!
