Pairing Apple Watch to a New iPhone:


A. Go Here: If you can't Pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone - Apple Support


B. Contact Apple Support:

Not being able to pair, due to not unpairing this, is an antitheft measure. You should have unpaired this from your older iPhone. Having not done so, you may not be able to use this on your new iPhone. So, contact Apple Support, seeing what your options are from here.

Contacting Apple Support:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there as necessary
  • Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
