Hey Dietriche,



Thanks for the question. No worries! This just means that the new devices you have received need to be updated before you can restore your backup. This can commonly happen if a new software update comes out after the devices have been manufactured. To resolve your issue, see this resource:


iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device

You’ll simply need to setup the devices without your backup, update them, then restore your iCloud backup.

Thanks,
