Using iPhone

If I switch back to my old SE phone will I have the same updated software that I currently have or will it be the software that was on that phone?

iPhone SE (Gen 3)

Hey Snappyken,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


Updating the iOS on one phone doesn’t do it on another. Also, if you have a backup from the newer iOS phone you won’t be able to restore it to the old one until you update the iOS.


Restore an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that needs a newer version of iOS or iPadOS - Apple Support



Cheers!
