hours away<\/a>. And we are going to assume that you have already saved up for the new iPhone that you are going to buy. In this digital age, when most of the important events and aspects of our lives are stored on our smartphones, we should take the appropriate measures to ensure we do not lose our data all of a sudden. And, the right way to do that would be to back up your new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X.<\/p>\nIn case you were wondering how you are going to make a back up of your new iPhone, we are here to help! There are two ways you can create a back up for your Apple device: iTunes backup or iCloud backup.<\/p>\n
Option 1: Backup to iCloud<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/noscript><\/p>\n\nOpen the \u2018Settings\u2019 app and go to \u201ciCloud\u201d<\/li>\n Choose \u201cBackup\u201d and make sure the setting is ON, then select \u201cBack Up Now\u201d and let the backup process complete<\/li>\n<\/ol>\niCloud backups are efficient but they may take a while for larger devices.<\/p>\n
Option 2: Backup to iTunes<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/noscript><\/p>\n\nOpen iTunes and connect the old iPhone to the computer with USB cable<\/li>\n Select the old iPhone and go to the summary screen in iTunes<\/li>\n Find the Backups section and choose \u201cThis Computer\u201d and then be sure to check the box for \u2018Encrypt Backups\u2019 \u2013\u00a0encrypting iTunes backups\u00a0makes sure that passwords and health data are backed up along with everything else.<\/li>\n Choose \u201cBack Up Now\u201d and let the backup complete<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nIt does not really matter which one of the two options you chose, as long as the back up was made successfully.<\/p>\n
What will not be included in the back up:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nmovies<\/li>\n music<\/li>\n podcasts<\/li>\n apps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese items will only be backed up if they are present on your iPhone currently, though. So, if you purchase an app, then remove it from your iPhone, it’s not included in the backup. Since the App Store is still going to have a record of you buying the app, you can download it again. It just won’t be included if you restore from a backup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
