When you activate a new iPhone, it can be a daunting process. But what happens to your old iPhone when you do?
When you transfer your number to the new phone, the old one will no longer work as a phone except for 911. The other features on the phone like wifi and apps that do not use a cellular connection will still work.
When it comes to the data on your old phone, you have a few options. You can transfer the data to your new phone, back it up to iCloud or iTunes, or delete it.
If you choose to transfer the data to your new phone, you can do so using iCloud or iTunes. Both methods will transfer contacts, photos, messages, and other data from your old phone to your new one.
If you choose to back up your data to iCloud or iTunes, you can do so using the same methods. This will create a backup of your data that you can restore to your new phone if needed.
Finally, if you choose to delete the data from your old phone, you can do so by resetting the phone to its factory settings. This will erase all of the data from the phone, leaving it as if it were brand new.
No matter which option you choose, activating a new iPhone is a great way to keep your data safe and secure. With the right preparation, you can make sure that your data is transferred, backed up, or deleted as needed.
