Iphone Transfer: 2 to 1?

Hi All,


Does anyone know if I am able to transfer data and apps from 2 phones (iPhone and Android) to the new iPhone? One's personal and one's a corp phone, I'm retiring my corp phone and will now operate under my personal phone - which will be the new iPhone.

I don't believe there is any way to do that. Especially since (I assume) the iPhones are using different Apple IDs. Items acquired with one Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID unless you change it according to:

But I don't think that will help you any.

There might be a way to get the photos by importing them to a computer, then copying them to a thumb drive, and uploading them to your personal Apple ID using iCloud Photo Library. But that is about it. Certainly not any purchases or apps.

Hi, thank you for the reply - perhaps I should've explained a bit more. I've successfully transfered my personal phone (Android) onto the new iPhone. I now also want to transfer the photos and apps from my corp phone (iPhone) to the new iPhone; essentially looking to transfer data and apps from both phone onto one phone. Is that possible? The link provided only shows for one phone to another, and not two phones to one.
