Assignment 20- How to set up an iPhone-Hayden Caldwell

We’ve all attempted to set up our new iPhones and the process has been needlessly complicated. So, hopefully this helps. For now, I’ll focus on setting up a new phone with the objective of transferring old data onto it. 

1. Make sure to back up your old phone. Either through iCloud backup or manual backup (search backup in settings and these options will come up, click on one and press the button labeled “backup”), you’ll want to make sure that it happens relatively close to the time of setting up your new phone because any data like received messages that comes in between the backup and setup will be lost. Do not turn off your phone until setup is complete. Otherwise, you risk losing large amounts of personal stuff.
2. Turn on your new phone by pressing the power button on the right side. You may have to hold it if the phone is shut off. 
3. Select your preferred language. You can change this later in settings if you want. 
4. Connect to the nearest WiFi network if possible so when downloading necessary software, you won’t lose gigabytes on your monthly cellular plan.
5. If given the option between quick set-up and manual set-up, choose manual because it is way more likely to work and actually quicker.
6. From there, it’ll give you opinions for some features that may or may not collect data, so choose your combination of features as you wish.
7. Finally, it should ask you to login to Apple ID. Enter your username and password and it should ask you to choose a backup to download. Make sure to choose one recently from your phone. Yay! You’re finished!
