Apple Investigating iPhone 14 Pro Models Freezing After Data Transfers

I’m not sure what everyone is talking about. This is the most incredible iPhone Apple has ever released. It had the most advanced, most powerful iPhone processor Apple has ever put in an iPhone. The new 48-megapixel camera is a game changer, that will let customers take their photos and videos to a whole new level. Plus, the iPhone exclusive Dynamic Island presents a new way to tightly integrate hardware and software to a level that only Apple can achieve. With the release of iOS 16, customers now have the ability for the greatest iPhone customization Apple has ever released in an iPhone, including the completely re-imagined Lock Screen. Apple is so excited to see what amazing things customers do with the greatest iPhone Apple has ever released!
If you just repeat the PR, you will feel much better and your cares will float away. Otherwise, you’re stuck waiting for Apple’s standard response for every single issue: hard reset, reset Network Settings, Erase and Reinstall, DFU insulation, escalate to Engineering, keep your iOS up to date.

Potential issues like this one are why I picked up the preordered iPhone 14 Pro in the Apple Store and completed the full setup in the store where I could make an Apple employee deal with any anomalies.
Or just pick up and transfer data at the Apple Store and ignore the PR - and no need to whine.
Mine became unresponsive but it was a good 13-14 hours after I transferred and had been using the phone all day. AOD just turned off while it was idle and it wouldn't wake back up.
I will say in the early days of the iphone when they were released everything just worked. Sure there was some small issues here and there but not like it's been the last couple of years..

The guy in front of me at the Apple Store was experiencing this issue. A simple force restart did the trick.
I did an iCloud restore for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and everything went very well.

The iPhone to iPhone wireless did not copy everything for me. I didn't get the Google's authenticator or Viber's full data. I could easily transfer Google's stuff, but the Viber's app data can't be done. So now I'm going back to the method that I have always used: computer and wire. Hopefully, this hasn't changed since the 11.
I had this problem but since I set it up at the store the apple workers helped me with it, iCloud messed up and the restore process did not work it did freeze up on me, it took me a good
Hour to setup my phone aside from a good 45 minutes of waiting 30 minutes after my appointment window 🤣. I was envious of my girlfriend because her proceeds went through without a hitch but I had a ton of pRoblems hahaha

The vast majority of iPhones are shipped to customers. The Apple Store could not remotely handle helping every single customer transfer from one iPhone to another.
True.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Wow!👍
100%
I'm sure there will be stories from apple.
I did and it does.
No waiting involved...just email Tim Cook.
You don't work with computers much, do you. "incredibly inefficient"?? How about faster than *any* wireless, even 6E, and the iPhone doesn't even have that, and no errors, no disconnections. And if you have ethernet faster than 1Gb/s, a LOT faster than any wireless. The inefficiencies are FAR less with wired, lower power, cooler, you name it.
Sometimes I think they rush things out to just satisfy us customers. I know these do have a lot of complex parts but this should not be happening on a $1000+ device

Key word: beta release... No one has any business whining about the consequences of their choice to experiment with beta software !
Right because iPhone OS 2.0 was so great. Freezing phones, MobileMe was terrible at launch. Or iPhone OS 4.0 which destroyed older phones, speed wise.
Microsoft Authenticator didn't copy across successfully either. What a pain, but I think I blame Microsoft more, as even their own backup/restore didn't.
I did an encrypted backup/restore from my 13 Pro Max and had no issues. I updated the new phone to 16.0.1 first, maybe that helped prevent issues. Also I had already updated the 13 Pro Max to iOS 16.
IMO the encrypted backup/restore using a computer is still the best method, it saves a lot of hassle. Unfortunately not all apps have their credentials transfer that way (some banking/brokerage apps, for example) and it seems strange to me that stored files from your Music and Books library don’t get included. For convenience I’ll sometimes save PDF files in Books, and still have to transfer those manually (guess I should be using Notes for that).

Oh please. I've probably been working with computers for more years than you've been alive. I know exactly what I am talking about. But believe what you want - I have no need to argue with some random stranger on this forum. I've been around these forums since the site first added them.
