Before you begin If you have an Apple Watch and you got a new iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch from your previous iPhone before you set up your new device. Unpairing automatically backs up your Apple Watch so you can restore it after you pair with a new iPhone. Make sure that you have a backup of your device. Have your Apple ID and password ready. Transfer your SIM card. If your new device needs a different SIM card than what you have, or an eSIM, contact your carrier. Select a method Next, select one of these transfer methods. Quick Start: Use your iPhone or iPad that's already running iOS 11 or later to automatically set up a new device. iCloud: Transfer your data and purchased content to your new device from your previous device's iCloud backup. iTunes or Finder: Transfer your data and purchased content to your new device from a backup you made with iTunes or Finder.

It should; I did it when I transferred from a 5S to this SE in May of 2018. Good luck!

Unless you have a very old version of iTunes that stores your apps on your computer, the apps will be downloaded over the Internet regardless of how you are restoring. If you use an encrypted iTunes backup, the same information will be backed up either way. If you don't encrypt your backup, health data and passwords won't be backed up. In both cases, you have to restore from the backup as part of the setup process, so if your carrier sets up your phone, you'll have to start over either way.

The reason I’m asking is because when in Telcel (my carrier) it comes time to upgrade my phone, they generally give me the phone working with VoiceOver set up, thus I feel kind of bad having to restore it to factory and set it up again, only to backup my previous iPhone’s settings, apps and the like. I wonder if with ITunes,of course having backed up the previous iPhone 1st, would it only involve less hassel in plugging inthe new phone, logging in with my Apple ID, and backing up. Thus I’ve several questions for you’ll if I do decide to take the plunge and backup via ITunes tinstime around: 1.-Does more stuff back up with ITunes than with ICloud? Also what advantages are there in incrypting the backup, versus leaving it as it is? 2.-Can one restore an ICloud backup from ITunes, without having to backup to the computer via ITunes first the previous phone? 3.-If I do decide to restore my backup via ITunes on my new phone 3A.-When would I log-in to my Apple ID on the new phone, set up the Apple Passcode to unlock the phone, hence too Touch ID (my phone will hopefully be the SE 2nd Generation), as well as connect my new phone to my WiFi network? Before starting with the backup process from ITunes, or will ITunes tell me the steps involved along the way? 4.-Have any of you guys recorded recently an audio tutorial involved in restoring a new phone from ITunes, instead of via ICloud? Thanks for all the help you can give before having to decide the best course of action to go with.
