The larger iPhone 7 Plus model also features two separate camera lenses. As "the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone", iPhone 7/7 Plus attract a lot of people around the world to switch from old iPhone/Android phone to the new iPhone. However, do you know how to transfer your data from your old mobile device to the new iDevice? Here I find some ways to help you.

1. How to Transfer Data from Old iPhone to New iPhone 7

1. Run iTunes and choose “Edit > Preference > Device > Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically” at the upper left corner of the window.

2. Plug the old iPhone into computer via the USB cable, and iTunes will recognize your iPhone. Right-click the name of your iPhone and choose “Back Up Now” in the drop-down menu.

3. iTunes will create a backup of your iPhone, and you may have to wait for a while until iTunes finishes backing up your iPhone.

4. Disconnect the old iPhone and plug in the new iPhone. After iTunes recognized the new iPhone, and at the “Set Up iPhone” screen, select “Restore from iTunes Backup”.

5. Select the most recent backup you just made from the restore menu in iTunes, then click “Continue”. When the restoring process is done, the new iPhone will restart.

1. Pick up your old iPhone. Make sure your iPhone or iPad is connected to Wi-Fi. (If you’re low on power, plug in as well.)

2. Launch Settings from the Home screen. Tap on iCloud > Backup. Then tap on Back Up Now.

3. Boot your new iPhone, and walk through the easy setup, then choose “Restore from iCloud Backup” when you’re at the Setup Assistant place. Then log in your iCloud account and choose the backup of your old iPhone, click “Restore” to get it to your iPhone 7. Wait till the iPhone has finished restoring from a backup. When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart. Then it will be ready for use. You should also connect the device to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on).

With iTunes and iCloud, you can easily transfer data from old iPhone to new iPhone 7, and what about these non-purchased files? You may need the help of the third-party iPhone transfer software.

2. How to Transfer Data from Android to iPhone 7

Apple released a Move to iOS app for Android users to help transfer contacts, messages histories, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, free apps from Android devices to iPhone. 

1. Download Move to iOS from any Android app store. The app is supported on all phones and tablets running Android 4.0 and later.

2. When you choose to migrate your data, your new iPhone will create a private Wi‑Fi network and find your nearby Android device running Move to iOS. After you enter a security code, it will begin transferring your content and put it in the right places. Just like that.
3. Once your content has been transferred, you’re ready to get going. iOS will set up your default mail account. And soon, it will add any free and paid apps you already own to your iTunes Wish List.* That’s it — you can start using your new iPhone and experiencing its endless possibilities. Enjoy.
