iPhone 15 Pro Trying to setup my new 15Pro from my old 12…

Hi!

Yesterday I bought an 15Pro, got a great deal on it! 😁

But I ran into some problems.

I tried to setup the 15Pro from my old 12 (iOS18). I choose to copy files from old to new.

Since my 15Pro has iOS 17.5.1 setup process first tries to update to iOS18. I can download the update and verify it, but when i press ”install” it starts with the update, the little spinning icon appears, but it seems to get stuck, nothing happens. It was like this for an hour before i stopped it.

I also tried to setup from iCloud but then I get an error message when I choose iCloud backup. Is this because backup is from iOS18 and new iPhone is iOS17?

Yeah, the iOS on the new/target device cannot be older than the iOS on the old/sending device.

When I choose ”copy files from old to new” setup starts with updating the new iPhone to iOS18 before copying files, but the update get stuck / fails, wonder why? 😁

Update the 15 to iOS 18 before trying the transfer. When it finishes, do another backup of it, then try transfer again
