iPhone 16 Pro Max Interesting setting up the 16 Pro Max

[transmaster]

This is the first iPhone I have had I had an iPad and a Mac computer involved in setting up a new iPhone. I think it was the iPhone 7 that first enabled cloning to a new iPhone. With each upgrade, the cloning got better and better. This time, it even cloned files loaded into my Equalizer Pro music app, an odd thing. I religiously keep the apps updated on the iPad. I had just checked before I set up the 16 Pro Max and needed to upgrade three apps. But now, with the setup complete on the iPhone, the iPad needs to update over 70 apps, and it is in no hurry to load them.

Solved the slow loading of the apps on the iPad. All it needed was a reboot to get things going. It finished in about 15 minutes.

The "cloning" process doesn't transfer the apps themselves. It basically tells the new device to download them from the App Store. That's why they appeared as updates and weren't loaded yet...they were still downloading. Even if you had an old version of an app on the old device, it would still download the latest version on the new one. (And if an app is ever removed from the App Store, but still on your old device...it may not transfer/download to the new device.)

Using Magsafe for the first time. I had it with the 14 Pro Max but could not use it because the OtterBox Defender case did not work with it. I will be installing the 16 Pro Max in one today; the new Defender case is Magsafe compatible.
