You’re given the option to connect by cable, which is the fastest and recommended method, or wirelessly. If you choose cable, connect the two phones via a compatible USB-C to USB-C or

Lightning to USB-C. You may need an adapter. The new and old phone will have a bit of back and forth. Open Smart Switch on the iPhone and when prompted, tap TRUST, enter your iPhone passcode

and then NEXT on the Galaxy. Screens on both phones will give you some idea of your progress. You eventually get to select the data you want to transfer among calls and contacts, messages,

apps, settings, images, videos and so on. When satisfied, chose TRANSFER. If you choose the wireless route instead, select either TRANSFER WIRELESSLY or GET DATA FROM ICLOUD. If the latter,

enter your iCloud credentials. If you choose Transfer wirelessly, open the Smart Switch app on iPhone, select whether you want to give full or partial access to your contacts, calendar,

reminders, photos and so on and when satisfied, tap LET’S GO. Scan the QR code that appears on the Samsung and tap JOIN to complete the connection from old phone to new. As with going from

Android to iPhone, exercise patience. The transfer could take a while, especially if you have a heavy data lift. BONUS TIP: BE AWARE THAT NOT EVERYTHING WILL MOVE Whichever direction you’re

transferring data, iOS to Android or the other direction, not everything will come through seamlessly. Moving to Android, your FaceTime and voicemail history won’t make it. Nor will any

effects created through the Messages app, or music you bought in the iTunes store. If you've purchased a lot of iTunes content, consider converting your old iPhone into a bespoke iPod.

New ones haven’t been for sale since mid-2022. Any streaming subscriptions won’t be affected. In a move to an iPhone, Apple says you may have to manually move over books, music and PDFs. If

any apps are missing, search the App Store or Google Play stores to find the proper versions of apps or potential substitutes for what was left behind. Apps that you had to pay to download —

these days that’s fewer than 5 percent of all apps — will have to be bought again.
