[Easy Guide] How to Transfer Data from iPhone to iPhone without iCloud?

How do I transfer everything from one iPhone to another? Many people will think of using iCloud for the first time. However, some people will refuse to use iCloud because of some shortcomings:

• First of all, iCloud must synchronize data when there is a network. This means that if there is no available network, WiFi, or poor network connection around you, then you will not be able to successfully transfer from one iPhone to another.
• Second, you must use the same Apple ID on both iPhone devices to share files with iCloud. If the two devices use different Apple IDs, then iCloud will be useless.
• Third, iCloud does not allow users to transfer files and data selectively.
• Finally, you can only restore data from iCloud backup when setting up the new iPhone for the first time. If you have already set up your new iPhone, then you have to reset the device first. Many people do not want to do this because it will erase the settings and data on the device.

Therefore, if you are still looking for ways on how to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone without iCloud, then this is the right place.
