I need to transfer all my information from my iPhone 8+ SIM card to a temporary iPhone 6+!

I have a broken iPhone 8+ due to the digitizer is broken. I am using an iPhone 6 + as a back up until I get a new phone. When I put my Sim card from my 8+ into my 6+ how do I properly transfer And sync my app and my information to the iPhone 6 +? Also if possible I would not like to erase the information on the older phone if possible, but just add a second account to it! If that is impossible, then please tell me what I need to do to get all of my information from my broken iPhone 8 plus on to my back up iPhone 6 Plus even if I have to erase the other information. Like I said I would like to use it as a second account so I wouldn’t have to erase the original information on the loaner phone from my friend.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Hello

  1. Hope you have backup to icloud active ...
  2. Sign in with the same apple ID to the new iPhone.
  3. everything will come back to the new phone ( Hope memory is same )
  4. If everything goes alright, you can erase & reset the damaged iPhone.


Good Luck !
