apps and data transfer from two iPhones to one iPhone XR

I have just bought aniPhone XR because I currently have two iPhone and the dual SIM functionality of the XR will mean I will only need to carry one phone around.

However, I have important apps and data on both of my current phones that I would like to transfer to my new XR. During the initial set up of the XR I transferred everything from one phone but I would like to do the same with my second phone. Can this be done without removing the apps and data all ready transferred?

This is not possible. You can only restore a backup of one device.

Transfer the data you need manually.

Again thank you sergekills,

I have now submitted the suggestion to Apple so will see where that goes.

Hopefully many more people will suggest the same and then Apple being the technology giant they are might respond and set something up..

Thanks sergekills, I kinda figured that was the case but grasped at the futile hope that there may be a way. Especially seeing as Apple are now providing dual SIM capabilities on some phones.

It will be a major pain in the proverbial but manually it is 😩
