Hello,
I recently bought the new iPad mini 6 but i was unsure of how to transfer data from my iPad mini 2 . Does the old ipad support quick start ? Or do i have to directly transfer things ? If you have ever went from the iPad mini 2 a newer ipad please let me know because the iPad mini 2 is super old .
Thanks ,
S
iPad mini, iOS 12
These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:
Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available. The iPad mini2 is capable of update to iOS 12.5.7.
“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.
An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:

When you are ready, the best procedure for preparing you old device for disposal or reuse by a different user can be found here:

It should work. If not, you can go to Settings>General>Transfer or Reset>"Get Started". This gives you unlimited storage for 30 days. View here for more info Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
