To transfer data to new iPhone without iCloud, you can also transfer data from iPhone to iPhone using computer and iTunes or Finder. If you have a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows computer, you can download and install iTunes first. If you are a Mac user whose computer is running macOS Catalina or later, you can simply use the built-in Finder app to transfer iPhone data.

3️⃣Extra Tips: Can I Transfer iPhone Data Wirelessly with AirDrop or Quick Start?

You cannot transfer data from iPhone to iPhone using Quick Start or AirDrop without Wi-Fi. Both methods rely on Bluetooth and a local Wi-Fi connection between the devices:

Quick Start: It requires Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to be enabled on both iPhones to create a direct peer-to-peer connection. It does not need internet access or a Wi-Fi router, but the Wi-Fi hardware must be active for the transfer to work. If Wi-Fi is disabled or the Wi-Fi chip is broken, Quick Start will not function.

AirDrop: AirDrop also uses Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi to transfer files directly. It does not require an internet Wi-Fi network, but both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth must be turned on. AirDrop can only transfer certain file types (photos, contacts, documents) and cannot do a full device data transfer.

If your iPhone's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is disabled or not working, these wireless methods will not work. In such cases, the recommended way to transfer everything is to back up your old iPhone to a computer via USB using EaseUS MobiMover or iTunes, then restore that backup to your new iPhone. This wired method requires no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and reliably transfers all data, including apps and settings

How to Transfer Everything from Android to Android Without Wi-Fi

iOS is known as a proprietary closed system, while the Android system is an open system, which makes it easier to get Android data from another device than iPhone data.

Let's see how to use USB cables to transfer Android data directly:

To transfer everything to new Android with computer:

If you want to transfer everything from Android to Android with one click, you can select Google Drive backup in addition to EaseUS MobiMover. Google Drive offers free 15 GB of storage for each Google account. Check the available Google Drive storage and the data size of your iPhone as I mentioned earlier in the "iCloud Backup" section.

Let's explore how to transfer data from Android to Android wirelessly using the built-in Google Drive backup service:

Step 1. On your old Android, sign into your Google Account from Settings. (Sign up if you don't have one.)

Samsung, one of the most famous Android smartphone brands all over the world, has developed an app called Samsung Smart Switch, which is exclusively dedicated to moving data to an Android/Samsung phone. it provides two transfer methods: wireless Wi-Fi and USB cable mode.
