The iPhone 13 is here, and some users who are still sporting an old iPhone or Android device will need to transfer their data to the newer Apple flagship phone.

However, transfering data might be overwhelming to some users as there are numerous options to do so from an old device to the iPhone 13. What's more, some ways are even more complex than others.

How to Transfer Data to New iPhone 13 from an Old iPhone

Let us go through the iPhone to iPhone method first. More on the Android to iOS migration later on.

As per MacRumors, the best method to transfer data to your latest iPhone is to use the device-to-device migration option. Not only is it the most convenient choice, it only takes a few steps as well.

On top of the seamless process, the device-to-device method also ensures that you are not losing any data--even as little as the settings and preferences. Not just that, it also successfully migrates information, such as login credentials, photos, and even app data--to name a few.

Now, here's how to start the migration process from an old iPhone to an iPhone 13 series device.

• Then, enter your iPhone 13 password.
• Tap the Transfer button from the older device to start the migration.
• Make sure that the two iPhones remain plugged in and near each other and wait for the process to conclude.
