Hi, am "quick-starting" from an iPhone X on iOS 16.7 to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Was expecting to see this option:

to choose between a direct phone-to-phone/via-iCloud option somewhere along the process, but I only saw these during my own process:

Where's that particular option now? I did upgrade to iOS 17.02 (on the iPhone 15 Pro Max) during the process, but I "didn't get to choose"...

So did I ended up with the phone to phone or iCloud (to quick start)?


Why I’m uncertain is because after the process completed, I’m experiencing:

the local video files that’s was in my VLC player, is not being transferred over,
The Bluetooth pairing to my non-Apple smart watch & non-Apple wireless earbuds were gone,
Slack messaging app is signed out
Signal messaging app is not transferred
Gmail is signed out

Doesn’t sound too convincing (that it may not be phone-to-phone)?

Any other confirmation?
