Will setting up as new keep my iPhone 13 settings and passwords? I belong to many different forums.
I think so. The 8 is obviously much older than the 13 tho so I don’t know exactly what would be lost but I assume it will go smoothly since they both support iOS 16. However iOS 17 drops support for the 8+, so you won’t be able to upgrade; do not upgrade your 13 to iOS 17 if you want to transfer it to the 8+.
Let me know how it goes! This is a very interesting topic. What made you go back to the 8+, if you don’t mind me asking?
I will let you know in the morning.
. I will leave it connected to the computer while it hopefully downloads all the apps etc from the 13 backup in the cloud. mostly hardware related I think. The phone screen would constantly open to an app, photos etc. i did eventually turn all those things off in the settings. Face recognition drove me nut’s for the most part. I am a person that carries my phone in my hand everywhere I go. I move my phone around a lot when I am moving. Its never in my pockets. Maybe that’s unusual? Most people carry it in their shirt pocket? Pants pocket? So inevitably the phone was driving me bonkers. I am also getting a bit annoyed with Apple. Its been a long run and maybe its time to change the ecosystem lol
I've always been a die-hard Android & Windows fan, but just last month I made the full switch to Apple. It's never too late to give another ecosystem a try! You just gotta find what's for you! Plus it's kinda fun, switching over brought some excitement back into my life.
I say find an Android and just try it! For fun if nothing else.
I love my mini. I don't feel like it should be called a "mini." I think every other phone should be called "huge." Every time I show the mini to people they say it's the perfect size for a phone... and yet they keep buying the huge phones 🤔
I agree with the Mini’s size. I had a 12 Mini and found it perfect. The only problem I have with the Mini line is that the battery life isn’t enough to last me a full day. I require the regular sized iPhone for the perfect amount of battery life to last me.
in the meantime I can scope out some deals for a new phone but there is no rush. I also like the keyboard and typing on the 8 much better!
It’s great that you feel more comfortable using the 8+! I don’t think I could do it 😂! I do miss my older devices and my favourite was probably the iPhone 4Following up on my migration back to the 8+. I didn’t see any errors after I restored from the 13 icloud backup. Hmm but I think the 8+ has less screens to hold apps. Not sure where some of the apps went. No errors though. It may seem weird but I’m happier now with the 8
Ya it’s crazy I like this better than the 13 lol. Oh well.
My friend who I am having lunch with tomorrow is gonna rip me lol he his a techy guy etc and Apple fanboy. I use to be in love but it seems each year it becomes less and less. And I look at other options.
Interesting because I feel the exact same way. The fit is amazing. I find typing is much better. And touchid drove me bonkers.
You mean Face ID drove you bonkers right?Interesting because I feel the exact same way. The fit is amazing. I find typing is much better. And touchid drove me bonkers.
Yes. Random stuff opened. Either the camera, photos, and the flashlight omg. Photos too. I ended up disabling faceid on many things.
I love the 11 Pro Max form factor, as its rounded edges are very similar to the 8 plus...just a little thicker to accommodate the FaceID camera sensor. I've even explored it as a potential upgrade given that iOS 17 is not offered for the 8 plus. May I ask where you purchased your 11 pro max?
