Method 2. How to Clone an iPhone with iTunes

iCloud and iTunes can back up your old phone’s data easily. Once you get a new iPhone, you can restore your old data with iTunes or iCloud. However, iCloud doesn’t support sync all the stuff you own on your old iPhone. You can clone your iPhone to a new iPhone with iTunes which could back up all your things on your old iPhone.

Back up your old iPhone with iTunes

Step 1. Connect the old iPhone to your computer and open iTunes. (Usually, iTunes would work automatically once you connect your iPhone to the computer.)

Step 2. Click the device icon and choose Summary.

Step 3. Click on Back Up Now and it would copy all the iPhone content to the computer.

Restore from the backup

Step 1. Turn on your new device. Connect the iPhone to the computer which owns the backup you have made.

Step 2. Choose Restore Backup on the Summary screen.
