In this part, I will share with you 4 effective ways to help you transfer your old Samsung data to a new iPhone 15/14/13/12/11. Let's get right to it now!

Way 1. One-Click Phone Data Transfer Software

When it comes to data transfer from one phone to another, most of people tend to use a piece of phone data transfer software to help them with that. That's a quite smart practice.

Android and iOS are also supported, which means you can transfer data from Android (Samsung) to iPhone, and vice versa. The data transfer between iPhones or Androids is available, too. This tool also enables users to transfer data from Android to iPhone after setup.

Important
In terms of data types, EaseUS MobiMover enables users to transfer contacts, photos, videos, songs, notes, messages, voice memos, and other content from Samsung to iPhone without resetting. And you can choose one-click transfer or selective data transfer.

This EaseUS software with a user-friendly interface is really efficient and you can free download it below.👇

Step 1. Launch EaseUS MobiMover and select "Phone to Phone" from the homepage. Connect your Samsung and iPhone to the computer. Follow the on-screen instructions to allow USB debugging and the computer to access data from your Samsung. Switch your Samsung as the source phone and the iPhone as the target.

Way 2. Transfer Samsung to iPhone 15 After Setup Using Cloud

cloud services

If you are reluctant to try third-party software, then you can take advantage of some reliable official cloud services that also do the trick. Google's cloud services can be your first choice to transfer data from Samsung to iPhone manually. Google has developed cloud services in many directions to back up or transfer separate data, including contacts, calendars, notes, photos, videos, etc.

If you set up your iPhone and want to transfer part of the content from your Samsung, then you can try this method:

🔸Google account sync: transfers notes, calendars, contacts, and emails

🔸Google Keep: transfers notes

🔸Google Photos: transfer photos and videos

🔸Google Drive: back up documents and files

Tip
In addition to Google's cloud services (free of 15 GB storage offered), Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud can also be your option. However, the data types that can be uploaded are limited. You can transfer files, business data (documents or PDF files), videos, or images.
