For many years, only used iTunes to transfer to new phone.
Then iCloud was awesome. Better than i'd experienced with iTunes, and the phone didn't have to be connected to my computer for hours.
And now the phone to phone transfer is the best experience, in my experience.
Things just keep on changing!
I still use the computer backup to archive, and iCloud backup for daily convenience, and the phone to phone to get the new phone into action fastest.
Maybe some year we will get ThunderBolt on the phone, then i'll probably go back to the computer backup and restore.
When someone says something which I have experienced otherwise in the past and acts like they have the definite facts, that raises my attention. So, I hope they're around when we find out the results.
I wanna do a more fresh migration this time around. Do you keep all the Apple Health and Fitness data, workouts and such doing this? If so, I’m gonna try it.
I don’t do any backups in iCloud. So as long as the Classic approach still works that’s the one I’ll take. I’ve been maintaining the same iPhone backup in iTunes since 2007!
Purple is a good flagship color. I’m so stoked. Will miss the Alpine green and Sierra blue iPhone. 😟
But I’m not actually prince.. I’m more like Dave chappelle as prince
Tell him you’re baby sitting. 🤣
How r u doing that with storage? I did that with my Mac. I would always run out of storage. Don't think it would be ideal to store this much storage on a Mac. Thoughts?

I wanted Sierra Blue, but BestBuy kept delaying the delivery to the store. Found a Graphite phone in stock and got it.
Just keep in mind it’s through Finder now and not iTunes. I did the classic approach up until last year, too.
Yes, I still have my health and fitness data. I do have it enabled to back up to iCloud in Settings -> Apple ID -> iCloud. Once you sign in to iCloud on the new phone it should sync that data. I've done this each year and haven't lost anything.
I work in Transportation Logistics and I think there's some system issue posting the updated scans. Worst case scenario, we would see a scan in ANC or KY. I hope no one deployed some ****** code to handle this volume.
Package tracking updates from UPS MyChoice, then we match scan times with flight tracker websites.
This is a great option if your privacy/security model doesn't include using cloud services. I'm glad Apple provides this as an option. How do you backup your backups in case something happens to your computer?
They were the same plane, just a change in flight number.
In the unlikely event that they removed the iPhones to ship them on a later flight they will still easily make it to be delivered on Friday if the ship in the next 24 hours.
I think i remember the ICN or HKG departure not being posted until the plane was in ANC or had even left for SDF. So the missing scan is not unprecedented if I am recalling correctly.
But I think the phones are on that 5X183 flight that will be in Louisville early afternoon on Wednesday.
Departed!!!!!! Please check in right now!!!!!!
The backup definitely eats up a decent amount of space if you have lot of data on your phone, and it doesn’t help that iTunes doesn’t allow you to choose the backup location - it automatically goes to your boot drive. I have a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro in my PC, which is the largest capacity they even make, so storage is at a premium too.
Thankfully I really don’t have much else on my PC boot drive so the amount of space it takes isn’t too much of a concern for me… yet.
