However, if you have many applications, photos, music, or other files that you really want to move from your old phone to a new one, you can restore them from a backup stored in the cloud or iTunes. We will show you both ways.

After turning on your new iPhone and selecting your language and country, you'll be prompted to restore your iPhone from a backup, to configure your device as a new iPhone, or to transfer data from an Android device. In this case, select Restore from iTunes Backup.
1. Connect your new iPhone to your computer using the included Lightning USB cable. (If you have a MacBook with only USB-C ports, you will need to purchase a Lightning USB-C cable.) I know.
2. Open iTunes if it does not open automatically.
iTunes asks if you want to give your computer access to information on your iPhone while your iPhone asks if you trust this computer. Touch Trust your iPhone and click Next on your computer.
3. iTunes will welcome you then. Click Next, and then click Start.
4. Select your iPhone X from the device list in the left pane. Click the iPhone Summary tab, which givesyou information about your device and information about your backups.
5. Select Restore Backup. If you have backup copies of multiple devices, you can find the latest one with a timestamp.
6. After restoring the backup, synchronize your phone with your computer. Then eject the device.

When you turn on your new iPhone and select your language and country, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from a backup, to configure your device as a new iPhone, or to transfer data from an Android device. This time we choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
1. Enter your Apple ID and password
2. If you have enabled two-factor authentication, you will receive a notification on another device with iOS 10 or higher or MacOS Sierra or higher with a code to enter your new iPhone. Enter this code.
3. Accept the terms and conditions.
4. Choose an iCloud backup. You can identify the latest backup using the date and time stamp.
5. After choosing a backup, choose whether you want to mirror the configuration of your old iPhone or customize it on your new phone.
6. Your iPhone X is restored from your iCloud backup. The process may take a while, so be patient.
