Transfer cancelled when trying to move data to new iPhone

Hi Lyynt1952,

We'd like to share some information on transferring data from a previous device. Looking over Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support, if this is the guidance you were following and had an issue with it cancelling, yes a reset is an erase. You can then resume with a new transfer following the steps in the article we shared.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Another 'iPhone-to-iPhone Transfer' process, uses Optical screen-to-screen

direct view, to engage this transfer. And when that gets messed up (mine is)

be glad to have it Automatically cancel. ~ Instead of a duplication of all data..

Mine inexplicably has glitched, & doubled ALL iPhone data on my original SE;

while the iPhone8 was re-named the same, as original SE! (with 2.) ~ That,

has doubled the Data in iCloud. And changing the newer model's name, nor

erasing iPhone8, Didn't help; and the Backups seem to be equally Doubled..

Cloud use was only 2.5GB in SE, & became 4.9GB in Both; says Low storage.

I've tried to isolate as previous iOS allowed, but that won't work; iCloud also

now affects storage in Macs. I have erased them, yet the defect returns.

The shared content is a glitch. Nothing new was added; looked into login

iCloud, saw much the same; and I can't afford to buy more iCloud+.

Never had this issue prior; the newer iPhone runs iOS 16.3.1, some party

gremlins were added into the mix; & never seen the likes of this before!

Situation is untenable, iPhone8 isn't being used; iPhone SE is off Cloud.

[PS: Had trouble in adding new thread to this section; so this ends up here.]

OK.

Mine only had one SIM and newer phone should've worked like a WiFi iPad

until that original SE SIM was added to the iPhone 8; but it didn't work out!

Thank you!

Good luck & happy trails!🍄🌿
