Dead Wifi blues.
The 8 and the 11 don't see each other for bluetooth or airdrop??
The 8 has no Wifi capability and the Apple Genius told us the * needed to be replaced.
Went Xfinity and got a new phone, the 11.
The 8 has too much on it so we are purging.
But how do we transfer data into the 11 from the 8?
Thx
You probably can’t restore a phone with higher capacity to a phone with lower capacity.
If you want to try, you can back up the 8 to your computer, then restore that backup to the iPhone 11. It doesn’t require Bluetooth, and doesn’t require Wi-Fi. See→Use iTunes or the Finder to transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Time to close the thread friends. We got lucky. The Apps were the biggest storage taker. My sons iCloud doesn’t back up apps. nice.
So, the last iCloud backup of the broken phone was 2 weeks ago. The photos and videos only took 26gb. He allowed the iCloud to populate his contact and his photos.
done.
Great! Glad it worked out.
Old iPhone 8 256GB (dead wifi) transfer data to iPhone 11 64GB??? How??
