Have you backed up your phone data?

Data can be backed up using iTunes, iCloud, or another application (See how to back up iPhone to computer). A backup will provide you with peace of mind, because no matter what happens during a transfer, you will know that your data will always be intact.

Do You Have Enough Storage Space?

A lot of people forget to find out their iPhone's available storage space. You need to check the amount of data that you can transfer. If there is no sufficient storage space, then you have to exclude some data from the transfer. Now, this does not mean that the data that cannot transfer has to be long forgotten. You can always use cloud storage or an external storage device to store it.

How Is Your Internet Speed?

When using Quick Start or iCloud, a stable and fast internet connection is vital. If it is not, transferring data will be time consuming.

Your data is very valuable, so always make sure that you put it in good hands, per se. (A comprehensive checklist of iPhone transfer software.)

If you are planning on transferring data from iPhone that is older than your new iPhone, there may be some data that may not be compatible. Therefore, it is highly suggested to update both devices to the latest iOS version. By doing so, there could be fewer compatibility issues during the transfer.
