The Ease of Setting Up a New iPhone with iOS 11
When it comes to setting up a new phone, one of the most frustrating tasks can be transferring all your information from your existing phone. However, with iOS 11, Apple has made it even easier to set up a new phone from your existing phone. In this article, we will explore how to use this feature and how it can save you time and effort.
Setting Up the New iPhone
We began by setting up a new iPhone 8 using our existing phone. We had not configured anything on the new phone yet, so we simply charged it up to prevent any issues during the demonstration. When we started up the new phone, it came up to the hello screen, which offered us options for language and location. After selecting these options, it moved on to the Quick Start page, which was similar to an Apple Watch or AirPods. This is where things got interesting, as our existing phone with iOS 8 saw the new phone and popped up a configuration option.
The Configuration Process
The configuration process was seamless and easy to understand. The new phone displayed a complicated particle field that worked like a barcode, which allowed us to quickly line up with our existing phone. As soon as it recognized each other, it said "finish" on the new phone, and we were done. All we had to do was have the two phones sitting next to each other, enter in our passcode, and let the transfer process begin.
The Transfer Process
The transfer process was incredibly fast and efficient. We only had to be in close proximity to each other, using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to transfer all our setup information. This was a significant improvement over previous setups, which required us to go through the same settings we did last year or the last time we wanted a new phone. In this case, we simply selected our preferences for various options, set up touch ID, and configured our fingerprint.
A Backup is Required
Before completing the transfer process, it was suggested that we had only done a recent backup of our old phone. This is an important step to ensure that all our information is transferred successfully. We checked our previous backups and realized that the last one was quite old. Therefore, we finished doing a backup on our old phone before proceeding with the transfer.
The Result
The end result was a brand new iPhone 8, fully configured and set up with all our information. This process was much faster and easier than previous setups, thanks to the new features introduced by iOS 11. We were able to quickly set up our new phone without having to go through the tedious process of selecting settings and configuring various options.
Conclusion
In conclusion, setting up a new iPhone with iOS 11 is a breeze. With the Quick Start feature, you can easily transfer all your information from your existing phone. This feature has made it much easier for users to set up their new phones quickly and efficiently. Whether you're upgrading to a new iPhone or just need to transfer some data, this feature is definitely worth trying out.
