I transferred data from an iPhone SE 2020 to SE 2022 last week.
I read https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210216 and followed prompts on the new phone. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. The iOS version was 17.2. I enabled iCloud on the old phone.
What was transferred,
- All files, photos, videos, message, call history.
- Apple app's (e.g. voice memo, alarm clocks, notes) data and settings.
- System settings, e.g. screen time, privacy, keyboard, control center.
- Per app settings, e.g. notifications, permissions.
- Some third-party Apps' data, e.g. Garmin connect, mullvad vpn.
- Paired Airpods and apple watches.
- Find my devices.
What was not transferred,
- Login sessions of most third party apps. e.g. Venmo, Chase, Amtrak, Southwest, Signal.
- Paired third-party Bluetooth devices, e.g. cars, speakers.
Caveats,
- All apps were installed to the latest version on the new phone.
- Signal app has its own transfer tool. It worked well for me.
- Apple pay cards were transferred but required SMS verification.
