Over Wifi using a Wifi connection to the Mac (though I'm not sure this is an option).Ĭan anyone shed any light on the process? Over lightning using a USB connection to the Mac. I have a Netgear Orbi AX6000 Wifi 6 mesh with a router and two satellites connected over a dedicated Wifi 6 link and even so a sync will occasionally hang and require a reboot of the Mac, some times even having to force the Mac down because the hang doesn't appear to be recoverable making me power off the Mac and disk check all the attached disks.Ĭould it be that moving to a different satellite node causes the hang? Does the iPhone need to stay within bluetooth range of the Mac or some other weird thing?Īnyway, I'm looking for the fastest and most dependable way to do the restore of a new phone from backup. I know that syncing an iPhone and Mac can be problematic over Wifi - even with a rock solid Wifi connection. Which is faster and more dependable? Restore from an iCloud backup or from a Mac? In preparation I've begun backing up to iCloud, though I normally back up to my Mac. The article implies that once the negotiation takes place the user can restore from an iCloud backup or from a Mac. I've seen one answer on the forum which seems to imply the fastest transfer method is QuickStart.įrom the Apple article referenced (and some other reading), it appears that QuickStart simply exchanges some data so the new device can use the Wifi network and iCloud account. I'm looking for the fastest way to transfer data from the old phone to the new phone. What is the fastest way to transfer data to a new iPhone? I'm currently using an iPhone 12 Pro Max and will soon be moving to an iPhone 13 Pro Max (both 512 GB).
