I have 2 old iPhones sharing same Apple ID and I need to transfer everything from both phones to my new iPhone 14 before I turn in trade in?

Can I do a direct quick transfer from 2 old iPhones to my new iPhone 14?

You have two iPhones with the same Apple ID inspite of this there are many data which are device specific.


Most of the App data are device specific


If you turn on Messages in iCloudiCloud Photos, Mail, Health data, call history under iCloud, and files you store in iCloud Drive your content is automatically stored in iCloud and is available on all devices that use the same Apple ID
