Sync or Restore New iPhone XR from iPod touch Backup? Hi all, I apologize for the cross post (also in iPod), but wasn't sure if iPod or iPhone was the appropriate forum. Normally I'd use the Google machine for this, but my searches weren't very fruitful or were mixed conclusions. We repurposed an iPhone XR for my son's first phone. He has an older (6th gen) iPod touch that he's been using. When I tried to transfer everything directly upon phone setup, the phone told me syncing from an iPod touch was not supported. So, can I restore from from an iTunes backup? I saw somewhere where it said it looked like it worked, but they found many settings/features missing from their phone because it was backed up from the touch. Not sure how reliable that info is. If restoring from the Touch won't work, is there any alternative to transferring Apps & Data? I can certainly get the photos and such manually if I want to, but obviously would rather not spend the time. Thanks!

Hello paulrp67,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I see from your post that you want to know if you can transfer data from an iPod touch using an iCloud backup to an iPhone.

You can restore an iPhone using an iCloud backup created for an iPod touch.

Check out this article for more details:

I hope this information helps you!
