At the time of backup restore the iOS versions of the both the phones should be similar or higher version of the iOS.


For ex: The old iPhone has iOS ver 11.2 & new iPhone has iOS 11 the restore backup will not work. First upgrade the new iphone to iOS 11.2 and higher to restore your backup of your old iPhone.
