But now I am sitting here for over 5 hours trying to set up my new 14 max pro with my old 13 mini (on 17.0.2) and nothing works. I buy these overly expensive pieces of tech especially for the convenience of use Apple offers usually. This is ridiculous, I never had such a bad experience with any Apple device before. The battery will last longer and the devise will work better with that turned off. It is also wise to turn off cellular on the old phone if your going to use it like a mini ipad or music player or something. THEN you can fully update and setup the new phone and leave the old one behind. Once you have matched the IOS versions phone to phone transfer will work after you reset your new phone again (NOT THE ESIM) because this then loops you back into the new phone where phone to phone transfer gets prompted. I see a ton of potential issues here with older devices not being able to go far enough and new devices being upgrade past the point your old device can go accidentally as apple give you the option to skip over updates but not go back. Then go into the setting of the new phone and update it to the version your old device is using. It might not even need to be the id of the person using the phone but I didn't try this. In any case, to update the new phone you have to go past all the restore stuff and just log in using the apple id and password. I believe an icloud restore gets around the issue but most people are doing phone to phone because they are out of space on their icloud. Summery: If you buy a new phone you need to make sure its on the same version of IOS as the old one to do a phone to phone transfer. Its all bad BUT I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL My wife thinks her phone is defective and does not want to use it, and I'm secretly celebrating my win. We bough the phone at 3pm and its now 11pm. It does not confirm your choice so make sure you dont delete the esim as this might complicate thing further! The sales guy vaguely mentioned I might have to update the phone before I can do a phone to phone transfer but he could not give me detailed instruction on how to get into the new phone without restoring anything and then how to wipe it without deleting the esim.īy the way, this is the very last question when you are resetting the phone at the bottom of settings/general). Maybe apple will have a rep at verizon soon I dont know. I think the most logical explanation is that verizon got the shipment of phones before a new IOS came out and Verizon does not want to train their people on how to get around this issue so they train 1 person in the store and charge for his time to update phones for apple. THE SOLUTION: NOW that I have both the old and new phone running the same IOS phone to phone transfer works perfectly. This now loops me back into the new phone as if I had just brought it home but running the same IOS version as the old phone. I reset the phone (erase all data and settings but NOT THE ESIM!). Once I get into the phone I go in and realize the new phone is 1 ios update behind the old phone. By holding down the power button on the 14 pro you can select start over so I tried it too many times before getting smart and accepting it wasn't going to work.įinally I go into the new phone with my wifes apple ID (do not restore anything just go in with the apple id and password). Then again but there is no progress bar or anything to indicate its doing anything. The phone gets to the point of updating ios and then just hangs on the install for 2 hours then I try again and it hangs again. The problem: We take the new phone home and start a phone to phone transfer thinking we just saved 30 bucks because I knew how to do this from my phone (i got mine 6 months ago roughly). The sales guy gives us a vague description of what to do and does not even turn the new phone on. We assume we can set it up and transfer the data ourselves since Verizon wants to charge 30 bucks for that after we just dropped over 11 hundred on a new phone with no discount. We buy the phone for full price and walk out with the new phone and her old phone because they only would give her 20 bucks for it. What happened: My wife said it was time to upgrade her phone so we went and bought an iphone 14 pro for her because I like mine. I just encountered this issue with my wife's new Iphone 14 pro we purchased today and needless to say it is quite annoying so I'm going to summarize the experience, problem and solution briefly (as I understand it) so that others may not have to be bothered by this as much as we are.
