Transfer All Data from Old iPhone to iPhone SE 2020

Like the old iPhone SE 2016, the release of the latest iPhone SE 2020 attracts users by affordable prices. The new iPhone uses the same heart of the iPhone 11, the A13 Bionic chip. It is really cost-effective to buy the most powerful mobile phone processor at this price and it looks really attractive. If you are ordering or have got the new iPhone SE 2020, one of the first tasks you'll need to do -- transfer all of your important data from your old iPhone to the new SE. Except for iCloud (limitation of storage) or iTunes, here are two transfer tools, Apple's newest transfer and PanFone Transfer, help us to successfully transfer your contacts, music, photos, and apps from one iOS device to another.

Way 1: Transfer everything from old iPhone to iPhone SE by Apple's newest transfer feature.

If both of your iPhones are running iOS 12.4 or newer (you can check in Settings > General > About), you can use Apple's newest transfer tool. By quick scanning a code and a couple of taps on your phone, you'll transfer all of your contacts, photos, messages and the rest of your most important info from your old iPhone to your new one.

What you need to prepared:

Both your old iPhone and the new iPhone SE 2020.
Both iPhones are running iOS 12.4 or later.
A stable Wi-Fi network and make sure the two iPhones are accessing it.

Step of transferring data to iPhone SE 2020 by using the new transfer feature:

Step 1: Go to Settings > General > Software Update on your old phone to make sure you're running the latest version of iOS 12.
Step 2: With your old and new iPhones powered on, unlock them and put them next to each other.
Step 3: Your old phone should display a prompt asking if you want to set up a new phone. Tap "Continue" and then point the old iPhone's camera on your new phone's screen.

Step 4: Follow the prompts on your new phone, completing tasks like entering a passcode, setting up Touch ID or Face ID and agreeing to Apple's terms and conditions. Eventually, you'll end up on a screen asking if you want to transfer data directly from one phone to the other, or if you want to restore from iCloud.
Step 5: Select Transfer from iPhone and follow the prompts, after which your iPhones will take care of the rest. Make sure you leave the two phones near each other, otherwise the transfer can slow down or stall.

It will take some time for the transfer to complete, depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi network and the amount of data you're transferring. If you have a lot of apps and photos, be prepared to be patient -- it's going to take a while.

Limitation: the OS version of both iPhones should be iOS 12 or above.
