4. Transfer information to a new iPhone

To activate and use your new iPhone, you need to insert a SIM card into it.

If you are moving from an old iPhone to a new one (for example from 4S to 5S), then you will need to change the SIM card size from micro SIM to NANO SIM. To do this, just call reference number operator and contact a consultant and say that you want to replace your micro SIM with NANO SIM card, you will be asked to provide your passport details and if you need your SIM card changed urgently, then getting a new SIM card within 24 hours costs about 200 rubles, but you can order delivery of a new SIM card for free, then it will be delivered in a couple of days. )

Or you can go to the salon yourself cellular communications your operator (taking your passport with you) and say there that you want to change the micro SIM card to Nano SIM map. But I will repeat this again only if you are moving from an iPhone 4S to 5, 5C, 5S or a sixth iPhone. Since new iPhones only use Nano SIM cards because they are smaller and take up less space in the phone.

By the way, I switched from iPhone 4S to 5S and noticed the changes that I described in the article.

After you receive it in your hands nano sim After about 15 minutes, a message will be sent to your number stating that work will now be done on your number. And they will turn off your old micro SIM card so that only the nano SIM will work. To activate the iPhone and start setting it up, a SIM card must be inserted into it

In simple words, iMessage is free messages between iPhones, iPads and MacBooks.

If you're upgrading to an iPhone 5S or newer, you'll need to set up Touch ID on it. This is a fingerprint scanner that is located on the Home button. It allows you not to enter passwords, but simply scan your fingerprint.

Use your fingerprint instead of a passcode to make purchases, or Apple password ID. Start by placing thumb or forefinger to the "Home" button.

We apply any convenient finger (most often the one you use to press the “home” button).

Place your finger. Lift your finger and place the tip of it on the home button several times. There is no need to press the button, just apply it.

Touch ID is ready. You can unlock your iPhone using your fingerprint. After Touch settings ID click continue.

Touch ID allows you to conveniently and securely access your device using your fingerprint. You will be prompted for a password from time to time to verify authenticity.

If you use a password that is too simple or common, you will be warned: Are you sure you want to use this code? This code is widely used and can be easily guessed.

If you want to use this code, click use, if you still want to use a different code, then click change.

After this, the process of copying data and settings from the old iPhone to the new one will begin.

After transferring the data, the smartphone will reboot and a window will appear indicating that the backup was restored successfully.

A window will appear confirming that the settings have been restored.

Some more iPhone time will restore applications, you will see this by the icons changing from darkened to standard.

After a few minutes (depending on the quantity installed applications) all settings and data will be transferred. Congratulations:)
