iPhone 15 "Data Transfer Cancelled" Error Message

Skip Apple wallet and faceID during the setup and make sure you upgrade the iOS first - to do this you’d have to set it up as a new phone (without copying data from your old iPhone). Once upgraded to latest iOS factory reset the phone and then set it up again and transfer the data from old iPhone but skip faceID and wallet

I had the same Issue. First is to free up enough space on your old Phone. I deleted some apps and freed up 12 GBs of space in my old 128 GB Iphone 11. Then you need to update your IOS on your old phone.Also keep both phones really close to each other, touching. Then try your transfer. Also keep your Apple ID password ready.

iPhone 15 Pro "Data Transfer Cancelled" Error Message

Tried 10 times or more from iPhone 12 Pro to 15 Pro and always get this same message.

I have storage space available and the new phone has the same storage space 256gb as the old..

I will have to take this to Apple so soooo angry and the time I've lost on this, my only consolation is seeing so many others here with the same problem.

in the store they made sure both phones were updated to latest software. after three hours and two cancelled transfers I skipped the face id and apple pay set up and said set up later and the transfer finally worked. It initially said 11 hours! but took maybe 2. upgraded from pro max 12 to pro max 15. In summary, make sure both phones are latest software, skip face id and apple pay set up and SHOULD be good to go

I encountered the same data transfer failed problem. Having read the comments above, I tried again, did not set up the Wallet, used wired data transfer, and it all worked fine.

I left the default IOS on the 15 (18.0.1) and 17.6.1 on my iPhone SE (3 gen).

Me too my iPhone 15 pro is 17.0.2 and i keep getting canceled

Same here. The Quick Start suggestion failed because it didn't start automatically after connecting the 2 phones and the instructions didn't include a way to launch it manually.

Explain exactly what you did please

This worked for me.

Thank you!

i have the same issue I tried all the suggestions below and still get the error message it’s very annoying what can I do to fix this ?

Cancelled for me too

plug both phone on a wall charger with atleast 50% battery life. I've tried everything but finally this worked lol

my Son is having this issue did anyone figure out how to resolve it we’ve tried all sorts and every single time it comes up with cancelled and reset apple gets worse

Agree with Apple Wallet step, I had to skip this process and add it later. The phone finally stopped canceling on me and started transferring data automatically!

I agree with step 3, I had to skip this process and add it later. The phone finally stopped canceling on me and started transferring data automatically!
