If you put in iPhone 11, it will ask you how many gigabytes it has, whether it’s the 128GB or 256GB model (currently Apple didn’t ask for storage of your old phone), and it will also ask you what kind of condition it is in.

However, before you trade in your old phone, there are a few things you should know about getting a trade-in value for your old phone. Before you prepare your old phone for trade-in or purchasing a new phone, you must backup your old phone data to somewhere else (we have added some of the steps for backup your old device), so you can load up your old phone’s profile with all of the apps and content like photos, videos and any other kinds of stuff in your new phone.

Transfer data from old iPhone to new iPhone via iCloud Backup

If your old phone is an iPhone, go to the iPhone Settings, click on Apple ID iCloud Media & Purchases, scroll down to iCloud, and click iCloud Backup, if your iCloud Backup is turned off then please turn it on and tap on Back Up Now button to begin backing up everything on your phone to your iCloud account, just make sure your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi network.

Once you back up everything from your old iPhone to iCloud, just make sure you have erased your old iPhone from Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This step is necessary for you because you don’t wanna let access to your mobile content like messages, photos, or any other stuff.

When you first switch on your new iPhone, it will display the “Hello” screen, which will guide you through the process of setting up your new iPhone. Then simply follow the on-screen instructions until you are connected to the Wi-Fi network. Then again follow the simple steps until you reach the Apps & Data screen after successfully joining the Wi-Fi network. Choose the first option, “Restore from iCloud Backup,” once you’re on the Apps & Data screen.

Now Enter your Apple ID and password to activate iCloud. Then select Backup, and if your new iPhone requires a software update, follow these Apple official instructions. Now, wait until the restoration process has been completed after that you can complete the rest of the process on your own.

After the all process is done and you are now on a new iPhone home screen, just let your new iPhone stay connected with the Wi-Fi network for a while so it can download necessary things to your new iPhone from the old phone like apps, photos, and music as well as contact syncing.

If you are looking for an iPhone to iPhone migration process or don’t want to use iCloud for iPhone backup, then follow these Apple official instructions for the direct transfer method.
