How to Transfer File from iPhone to iPhone 7

Step 1. Download the program on to your computer. Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to complete the installation process.

Step 2. Connect the iPhone and the iPhone 7 to your Mac using USB cables. If you need to authorize the Mac on any of the devices, do so.

Step 3. Once the devices are connected correctly, you should see both devices in the next interface with the data from the source device listed in the Middle panel. At this point, take a moment to make sure that the Source device is the old iPhone and the destination device is the iPhone 7. If this order is not correct, you can simply re-order the devices by clicking on "Flip".

Step 4. Now all you have to do is select from the middle panel all of the files you would like to transfer to the iPhone 7. Click "Start Copy" and wait while the program transfers the files. Depending on the amount of data on your device, the transfer process could take some time. Ensure that you keep both devices connected through the entire process.

This program is your best bet not because it is simple to use, although that is a very good reason but also because it saves a lot of time. You can transfer file types regardless of how large they are or how many they are. It is a worthy investment if you want to switch devices.

Step 1. Connect your iPhone 7 to the computer and launch iTunes. You can let the device sync if you want to but this is not necessary.

Step 2. You should see the device in the list on the left side of iTunes under the "Devices" tab. Click on it. Click on the Apps tab in the main panel of iTunes and then scroll down to find "File Transfer" section with a list of apps. From this list, select the app you want to transfer the files to. For instance, you can choose iBooks if you want to transfer an epub or PDF file.

Step 3. Drag the file from the computer to the space to right of the app list. Alternatively, you can also click on "Add" to browse for the file. As soon as you have chosen the file it will be moved to your iPhone 7.

There are a few shortcomings with this method. First of all, it is unclear what would happen if you wanted to transfer large files or multiple files. The process would probably take a very long time. There is also the problem of getting the files from the old iPhone to the computer in the first place. It may be ideal if you only want to move one or two files but it is hardly effective for larger file.

Step 1. On the old iPhone, make an iCloud Backup. To do this connect the device to a Wi-Fi network and then go to Settings > iCloud > Backup. Make sure that the iCloud backup option is turned on. Tap "Back Up Now". Stay connected to the Wi-Fi network until the process is complete.

Step 2. If you had already gone through the setup process on your iPhone 7, you may need to erase all contents and settings to get it back to the setup screen. You can do this by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents and Settings.

Note: It is worth noting that doing this will erase all of the data on your device. Once you are the set up screen. Follow the steps until you get to the Wi-Fi screen. Connect the device to a Wi-Fi network and then follow the steps on the screen until you get to the Apps & Data Screen. Here tap on "Restore from iCloud Backup" and then tap "Next".

Step 3. Sign in with your Apple ID and Password and select backup to restore. Stay connected to the Wi-Fi network until the entire process completes and then follow the prompts on the set-up screen to complete the set up.

Step 1. Launch the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom on your iPhone or iPad.

Step 2. Make sure that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on. You don't have to be on a Wi-Fi network but you're going to need it to transfer the files.

Step 3. Tap AirDrop and you should see a bunch of options. Tap on "Contacts Only" to enable only your contacts to send you AirDrops, tap "Everyone" to let everyone AirDrop you. If you choose Contacts only, make sure that you are signed in to your iCloud account.

Step 4. Now that AirDrop has been turned on and set up, follow these very simple steps to transfer files.

1. Go to the file you would like to transfer and then tap on the "share" button.

2. Tap on the person and device you would like to share the files with. In this case, you will send files to the iPhone 7.

Airdrop is an easy solution. But it may also not be the ideal way to go if you are looking to transfer larger files or multiple files at once.

Troubleshoots on iPhone AirDrop

This method is not always fool proof and you may experience some problems when using it. The following are some of the easy ways to overcome the problem if you are unable to see the contacts in AirDrop.

• Try toggling the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on and off and then toggle Airplane more to reset the connections.
• You can also try to turn off instant hotspot to free up the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections.
• If that doesn't work, you can try to temporarily switch to Everyone. This may work to remove any chance that there is a contact mismatch.

Step 1. Remove the SIM card from the iPhone and then insert it into the new iPhone 7. If you need to, enter the PIN code to unlock the card and continue.

Step 2. Tap "settings" from the home screen of the iPhone 7 and then select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" to launch the contacts settings.

Step 3. Tap "Import SIM Contacts" to import your contact list into the iOS device. Now remove the old SIM Card from the device and re-install the new iPhone's original SIM Card.
