Data transfer: iPhone-iPhone

I started transferring data (via Wi-Fi-I think] at the Verizon store, unfortunately, the transfer wasn’t finished by the time the store closed [wasn’t even close]. Now that I’m home they’re on lte/5g - not my home Wi-Fi network. It’s going pretty slow. Can I or should I change things up to speed up the process?

Hi tpd910,


Thanks for reaching out to the community. Depending on your internet speed and the amount of data you're transferring the process can be lengthy. If you're using the Quick Start feature for transferring, a Wi-Fi connection is recommended. Be sure to follow the steps and article below for Quick Start.


1." Make sure that your current device is connected to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is on. Turn on your new device and place it near your current device. Follow the onscreen instructions to get started. If the prompt to set up your new device disappears from your current device, restart both devices.

2.Connect your device to Wi-Fi or your device's cellular network.

3.You might be asked to activate your cellular service.

4.Set up Face ID or Touch ID.

5.Choose how you want to transfer your data.

If you download from iCloud, your apps and data download in the background so that you can start using your new device right away.

If you transfer directly from your previous device, you'll need to wait for the transfer to complete on both devices before you can use them.

6.Keep your devices near each other and plugged in to power until the data migration process is complete. Transfer times can vary based on factors such as network conditions and the amount of data being transferred".
