What You Need Before You Start setting up your new iPhone

Having a new iPhone for most people is an important and exciting time, but for some people the new iPhone setup experience can be overwhelming before setting up a new iPhone device having the following information known and available can make the new iPhone setup experience straightforward.

Knowing your Apple Account email address and the Apple Account Password is essential for setting up a new iPhone, and having the existing iPhone to hand can help the new iPhone setup experience go smoothly, and also having an iPhone backup of your existing iPhone to the Apple iCloud ecosystem is also important to have, if you use WhatsApp then make a backup of the WhatsApp Chats and make sure that you know your WhatsApp password and create an Apple Passkey can help.

Also you will need to know your WiFi name and the Wi-Fi password when setting up a new iPhone, and you can be asked to enter in your other devices passwords or security code which is either a 4 digit or 6 digit number, you can also review your Apple Two Factor Authentication approved devices before setting up your new iPhone device, especially if you no longer have access to the device.

How to Transfer Data to an iPhone

There are a few way on how you can transfer data to an iPhone and especially to a new iPhone, if you use the Apple iCloud ecosystem and you have all of your data and information in the iCloud then often there is no need to transfer anything.

Also if you have purchased a new iPhone and you have joined or want to use the free WiFi connection at an Apple Store or at a mobile phone store or shop, then this is not the best option and solution on how to quickly setup a new iPhone, as both the Apple Store WiFi and mobile phone shops WiFi have very limited speeds and can timeout during a WiFi connection for a new iPhone setup, it’s always best to use your own home or office WiFi wireless connection to setup a new iPhone.

Back Up WhatsApp on Your Old iPhone (Essential Before Transfer to a new iPhone

If you use WhatsApp and you use WhatsApp on your existing iPhone, then open WhatsApp on your existing iPhone, and in the settings and Chats, make a Chats Backup, this can help you recover your WhatsApp data on a new iPhone setup, also make sure that you know your WhatsApp password and your WhatsApp account security recovery information, for the best experience, if you can keep your existing iPhone setup intact this can help with a new iPhone setup, especially for WhatsApp.

Step 1: Turn On Your New iPhone

A new iPhone device will have some battery charge stored to use, this allows a new iPhone to be switched on without having to charge the iPhone, but it’s recommended to charge the iPhone to at least 80%, to power on a new iPhone use the top right hand button and press the button for 1 or 2 seconds and the Apple white logo should appear, then you can start to follow the on screen iPhone initial setup settings, if you have a SIM card then it’s best to insert the SIM card before you switch on the iPhone, but it’s not necessary as an iPhone can be setup over WiFi, but by having the SIM card in a new iPhone can make the iPhone activation setup work more smoothly.

Step 2: Choose Your Region and Language

Once the new iPhone device has shown the White Apple Logo the next setup screen should be to choose the region and the Language which for the UK is United Kingdom and British.

Step: 3 Connect to Wi‑Fi Wireless Network

The new iPhone setup process will ask you to join a WiFi network connection, and for the best experience and setup use your own home WiFi network connection or a fast office or work connection, if you use a public WiFi or even the Apple Store WiFi then the speed is limited and the Wi-Fi connection can fail or timeout.

Step 4: Choose the Best Way to Transfer Data to Your New iPhone

A new Apple iPhone can have several ways on how to transfer data to a new iPhone, this can be from an iPhone iCloud backup, or from a Quick Transfer option available on newer iPhone devices running a newer version of iOS, or from a PC or Apple Mac computer iOS device backup via macOS or Microsoft Windows, or by using the iPhone Transfer and Reset menu, which is necessary if you have a 5Gb limited iPhone storage plan.

Use Quick Start to Transfer Data to Your New iPhone

If you do not have an iPhone backup and you have not used the iPhone Transfer and Reset option on your existing iPhone, then the Apple iPhone Quick start can be the best way on how to transfer data to your new iPhone.

Sign In with Your Apple Account and Choose the iCloud iPhone Options

When you setup a new Apple iPhone you will be asked to sign into your Apple Account, formally known as an Apple ID, the Apple Account is actually an email address and or a telephone number that you used when you created an Apple Account or an Apple ID, most people actually do not know their Apple Account Password, so the best way to reset the Apple Account Password is to use a device that is already signed into your Apple Account, this will show you the email address and or the Apple Account telephone number, but you will need to reset the Apple Account password if it’s not known or you can look at the Apple Password app or another Password app. It’s not possible to find out the existing password from Apple, but the option to reset it.

Restore Your New iPhone from an iCloud Backup

You can also choose the option to restore an iPhone from an iCloud backup if you have chosen not to use the Apple iPhone Quick Transfer option. Again make sure that the iPhone WiFi connection is stable and has a reasonable speed.

Restore Your New iPhone from a Mac or PC Computer Backup

If you have been connecting your existing iPhone to your Apple Mac computer or to a Microsoft Windows PC computer, then you might find that especially with Apple Mac computers, within the system settings, General and Storage menu you might see iOS and these are iPhone and or iPad backups that have been created when the iPhone was connected to the Apple Mac computer, these can be used to erase and to setup an iPhone.

When You Should NOT Use an Old iPhone Backup

If you have a new iPhone then for the best new iPhone setup experience would be to use the Quick Transfer option or the option from the Transfer and Reset menu on your existing iPhone rather than a iPhone Backup restore.

What to Do If Your iPhone Transfer Fails

If an Apple iPhone transfer fails to work, and the iPhone seems to be stuck for a long time, then often powering off the iPhone and back on again can help, you can also reset a new iPhone back to out of the box settings by using the iPhone Transfer and Reset options.

You can also erase the new iPhone and choose to not restore from an iPhone backup and setup the new iPhone as a new device and then sign into your Apple Account to setup a new iPhone and then choose to reinstall or download the apps that you need from the Apple App Store.

Set Up Mail on Your new iPhone

Setting up email on a new iPhone device can be straightforward if you use an iCloud email address as the setup is done when you signed into your Apple Account, you can also add your Gmail Google email accounts to your iPhone, and Microsoft 365 Exchange and Outlook.com email accounts and also iMap accounts, it’s best not to use pop email accounts on a iPhone as it’s virtually impossible to recover email and email data, you can also download and use Gmail for iPhone and Microsoft Outlook for iPhone but try not to use both for the same email accounts, an iPhone email setup can be use Apple Mail for an iCloud email account and Microsoft Outlook for a Outlook or for a Hotmail account and use Gmail for iOS for a Google email account as the sync technology has changed and each email ecosystem has been optimised for each service.

Install Essential iPhone Applications

Setting up a new iPhone especially if you have lots of data and lots of Applications and Applications data can take a day or overnight to fully complete the new iPhone setup, and also the iPhone might use up more battery and seem a bit slower to use whilst the new iPhone background tasks are completed.

Check iCloud Syncing Between Your iPhone and Mac

The Apple iCloud ecosystem was designed to show you the latest information first for example iCloud Calendars, iCloud Photos, iCloud notes and iCloud recent files, depending on your Apple Mac computer age and the macOS operating system software used can have an impact on how soon you can see your iCloud information from a new iPhone, and also information on your Apple Mac computer that is available on the iCloud ecosystem.
