Hello berko009,


Congratulations on your new iPhone 12! Being able to transfer your data from the old iPhone to the new device is very important, and you've come to a great place for help. If you're being prompted that there isn't enough space the next option would be to try transferring data using a different option. You can find the various ways that information can be transferred to your new iPhone in the article below.
