If you "broke" 'your new phone, there is no way that you could then make a backup of the phone. So, you need to provide more details about what you mean by "broke".


It is important for you to remember that if your "new" phone was running a higher iOS system than the iOS version on your "old" phone, you will not be able to use the backup of the new phone to restore the old phone.


So, please clarify on what iOS version was installed on your new and old phones.

How Exactly would you Define "Broke"?:

"Broke it?" How so? Is it physical damage? Or is it not charging? Or is is something else?


For reference...

Troubleshooting Slow iPhone Power:

The iPhone battery will not charge, unless it is plugged in and charging. With lots installed, the charge would be slower. It would also depend on the battery health and how you are suing heal it is charging..  Go Here: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support - Scroll down to "Your battery's maximum capacity"


View the Battery Health:

Apple recommends you get a new battery, once the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower. When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Battery
  3. Tap: Battery Health
  4. View: [the percentage]
  5. Is it 80% or less?  If so, it is time for a new battery.
