We've discussed the functionalities and usage of Quick Start in depth, but one pivotal question remains: how long does the Quick Start transfer process take?
The term "Quick Start" suggests a speedy process, and rightfully so. It's designed to streamline the data transfer process. While the time can vary based on several factors, typically, users report a transfer duration ranging from 15-30 minutes. This duration largely hinges on the amount of data being transferred from one iPhone to another. Understandably, a more extensive set of data will require a longer duration, while a smaller dataset will expedite the process.
In this article, we've discussed two leading methods for transferring data between iPhones: Quick Start and EaseUS MobiMover. Both bring their unique strengths to the table.
Quick Start prioritizes speed and efficiency, aiming to move your critical data from one iPhone to another in typically 30 minutes to an hour. In contrast, EaseUS MobiMover is tailor-made for those seeking more specific transfer solutions or those wanting a flawless switch. Ultimately, whether you lean towards Quick Start or MobiMover, the key takeaway is the availability of options, empowering you to select the method that aligns best with your needs.
Now, let's address some common questions that might be lingering in your mind about data transfer to your new iPhone
Quick Start does migrate most apps. However, apps no longer on the App Store or those delisted by developers won't be transferred.
It's advisable, though not compulsory, to create a backup of your old iPhone prior to employing Quick Start. This is a precaution to safeguard your data from unforeseen disruptions during transfer.
Quick Start moves data directly from one iPhone to another, while iCloud provides a place to store and access your data to and from multiple devices.
