I chose phone to phone the other day going from my 12 pro to my 7+ and have had absolutely no issues, ive not had to sign into anything at all either other than my banking app

It says it takes longer but as I've had no issues with it ill be doing it again on Friday

If you have a lightning to USB adapter and a spare usb to lightning cable you can connect the two iPhones together. I think this gives the fastest speed, though there’s probably not much in it when compared to Wi-Fi. The one thing that really irritates is that regardless of which method you use, it re-downloads all the apps you have the from the Apple store, which can takes ages even when it isn’t a new iPhone day (why Apple changed this about five years ago I’ll never understand as it must put a huge strain on their bandwidth)

It did, I posted earlier today that I’d noticed that all my achievements had disappeared but I had all my ring history, just looked again and they’re all back now so not sure what’s happened there

transfering an Apple Watch over though is always hit and miss I find no matter how you do it, so don’t take this as golden 😅

I wore it throughout the transfer and didn’t disconnect it or anything from the original phone, and then it eventually said do I want to use the watch with my new phone, pressed yes and that was it.

You can use an app like iMazing to back up the apps to a mac and then restore from there. That at least ensures that you keep any apps that are longer available in the app store.

I'll be transferring an eSIM on EE. I hope the process has improved - I can only presume so, with the integration into myEE. I had to do an eSIM transfer early last year and was forced into going back to physical SIM and then eSIM.

I might give EE a call beforehand and see what the process is - EE is my work number and can't risk being offline. Vodafone is my personal number and the process is much smoother - on the Vodafone app, you just select eSIM transfer, it does the 2FA at this point and then e-mails and lets you download the QR code. Once you scan the QR code on the new device, only then does the old deactivate. And the new active within minutes.

Yes, it’s all in the MyEE app now, to be fair you should not have had to go to a physical SIM then back to an eSIM….. not sure why they told you that, you just needed to order a new paper code that was used to transfer the esim from the old to new phone. I did this from XS Max to 11 Pro Max then to 12 Pro Max.

Sometimes the achievements take a bit to come through and can even be the following day. Never really understood why it takes so long and occasionally doesn’t work (had to reset my iPhone X last month and start the copy process again after only some achievements came across from iPhone 12 on the first attempt). As long as you have health data backed up either to iCloud or locally to Mac/PC (just make sure that you’ve got Encrypt local backup selected otherwise it won’t save health data), then you shouldn’t lose anything.

Yes definitely, for me the 13 Pro Max is going head to head vs Pixel 6 Pro new cameras this year. I do like my Apple watch so I'm not switching to a Pixel but would be a interesting contest. Doubtful Pixel will compete with Apple's videography but the cameras could be a close call.

Pixel 6 pro will be great and it will need to be to beat the 13 pro max.
