Part 2: Will I Lose My Transferred Data if my iPhone won't Turn on?

If you’re wondering whether you will lose your data if the iPhone transfer to new phone is interrupted and your new device shuts off, this section has got you covered.

Well, no definite answer to this question. After you’ve successfully turned on your device using ReiBoot, force restart, or any other method, you should check your storage.

You can check the storage of your new iPhone to see if the storage is occupied by the transferred data.

Or you can also open your Photos app and see if your media is there. Then, open your contacts and messaging app and see if they’ve successfully been transferred or not. If not, then proceed to the next part to move your data from the old iPhone to the new one again.

Part 3: How to Transfer Old iPhone Data to New iPhone without Quick Start

Choose 1: iCloud Backup (Not Recommended)

One of the proprietary methods how to transfer everything from one iPhone to another is to use the iCloud backup feature. But do we recommend it? Not really.

• Firstly, you will need to upload all of your data from the old iPhone to cloud, which can take a lot of time depending on how much data you have and what’s your internet speed.
• Furthermore, If you’ve finished setup, you will need to reset your new iPhone again to access the “Restore from iCloud” option during the setup process.

If you’re fine with that, follow the steps.

• On your old iPhone, go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud Backup, and make a new backup.

• Set up your new iPhone. Select “Restore from iCloud” during the setup process (You will need to reset your iPhone if you’ve already finished the setup process.).

  
• Select the latest backup you took and wait for it to be restored.

Choose 2: Back Up iPhone to Computer and Restore the Backup to New iPhone

But literally, the best method how to transfer data from one iPhone to another after setup is Tenorshare iCareFone.

iCareFone doesn’t rely on any kind of backup files to restore your data. Instead, it manually backs up your data from the old device to your computer, then manually restores it to the new phone.

This method is very risk-free, and you don’t even have to reset your iPhone to proceed with the steps.

• Download and install Tenorshare iCareFone on your computer. Connect your old iPhone to the computer, then click “Backup & Restore” in the menu. Select the files you want to move, then proceed.

  

• Wait for the backup to conclude.

  

• Connect your new iPhone 14 Pro to the computer and select the Backup & Restore tab.

  

• On the Restore page, select all the files you previously backed up, then hit “Restore to Device”.

  

• Wait for the process to complete. Now your old iPhone data has been transferred to your new iPhone 14 successfully.

  

The Bottom Line

And there you go — that’s how you proceed if your iPhone 14 won’t turn on after transfer.

If your phone is stuck with a black screen, use Tenorshare ReiBoot to turn it on without losing your data. If you still need to move data from the old phone to the new one after setup, use Tenorshare iCareFone and it will do that without you having to reset your phone.
