Hello everybody, since yesterday, i now struggle with the topic, before I put the iPhone back on, you are my last hope.

I have the iPhone 12 mini with iOS 14.2.1 and would like to transfer this to my 11 pro with iOS 14.2 because I can't get along with the Mini. When transferring from iPhone and iPhone, the error message “Data transfer could not be completed. Please reset your iPhone. " I suspect that, similar to a backup, I cannot import the backup from a higher iOS version to a lower one. Unfortunately, 14.2.1 had to be published for the 12 series due to the known problems.

Maybe someone else has a tip. If it doesn't work, I'll have to bite the bullet and put the device back on. Thank you!
 
OK, too bad. Now when I set it up as a new iphone, I want to delete it completely. Does it make more sense to restore it via the Mac and then without a backup, or is there no difference in simply deleting it via the iphone?
