How to transfer data from iPhone 7 to iPhone 14 and back up iPhone 14 photos

Yes, your local Apple Store can help you transfer data from the old one to the one, though you will need to erase the new iPhone to transfer data from the old iPhone 7.

Otherwise, the easiest thing to do would be to simply upload the data you want to transfer to iCloud and the download it on the new iPhone or just airdrop it.

If you did not turn off iCloud backups when setting up the new iPhone 14 and you are not using iCloud Photos, your Photo library should be backed up to iCloud in the general iPhone backup package. If you are using iCloud Photos, then your photos are synced to iCloud, but not directly backed up.

Yes, you can make genius bar appointment and the store will help you. However, you can do it yourself:

But note that if you have already set up your iPhone 14 this will erase everything on it.

To determine if your photos are backed up, On the iPhone 7:

• Tap Settings
• Tap your name at the top of the screen
• Tap iCloud

Is Photos turned on? If it is your photos are backed up to iCloud. If it is not you can turn it on, but first make sure you have enough iCloud storage to hold your photos. Unless you have a very small number of photos you will need to “rent” more iCloud storage:

• Tap Storage at the top
• Tap Change Storage Plan and choose 50GB for 99¢ a month, or more if you need more
• Then turn on iCloud Photos

You may also have backed up photos other ways:

• Manual iCloud backup
• Automatic nightly iCloud backup
• iTunes backup
• Transfer your photos and videos to your computer via USB cable
• emailed, texted or messaged the items to friends or family
• Sync to Google Photos
• Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
• Sync to Dropbox
• Sync to box.com
• Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
• Sync to Amazon Photos
• back up to Livedrive
• Backup to any other backup or archiving service
• Transfer them to a Flash drive through the lightning port on your iPhone, using a product such as SanDisk 64 GB iXpand Flash Drive Go - Apple

It sounds like you have one set of photos on the iPhone 7, and another set on the iPhone 14?

If you have enough iCloud storage space, and you are using the same Apple Account on both phones, you could turn on iCloud Photos on both of the phones – then wait for each phone to synchronize photos to iCloud.

Once iCloud had all of your photos and videos from both phones, assuming that photos and videos were the only thing on the iPhone 14 that you wanted to save, you could

1. Wipe the iPhone 14 - following the directions in What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support .
2. Set up your iPhone 14 from your iPhone 7 (Set up your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support, Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support) .
3. If you had used your computer to load music onto your iPhone 7, you would now want to do that \for the iPhone 14. (I don't believe that Quick Start or backups transfer music.)
4. Wipe the iPhone 7 - once you were satisfied that everything had been copied across properly to the iPhone 14.

The local Apple Store might be able to help you with this (and you might want to show them this thread).
