What if you’re having issues? Trying to transfer an iPhone 7 that doesn’t support iOS 16 where transferring your phone and rain requires iOS of 16 or later? But the phone your transferring to has an iOS of 16 or higher?
Hello Smithchels13,
There are a few options for transferring data to another iPhone. As long as the iPhone having the data transferred to has the same or new version of iOS, then any of these methods should work. Here are the requirements as noted at Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support:
• If you have an Apple Watch and you got a new iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch from your previous iPhone before you set up your new device. Unpairing automatically backs up your Apple Watch so you can restore it after you pair with a new iPhone.
• Make sure that you have a backup of your device.
• Have your Apple ID and password ready.
• Transfer your SIM card from your iPhone, iPad, or eSIM. If your new device needs a different SIM card than what you have, contact your carrier.
• Make sure that you have a backup of your previous device. If you purchased a new iPhone or iPad, you may be eligible for temporary iCloud storage.
If those requirements are met, there are multiple ways to transfer the data. These methods are also outlined at Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support :
