Then we turn it on, yes, and for the first time since the first surprise we think about how to configure it.
Luckily, at Apple they put the very very easy setup process. Thanks to this we can enjoy our new iPhone in just 10 or 15 minutes. And what’s more, most of the system is fully automatic. Let’s see it in detail.

The first thing we have to do is Create a backup of our old iPhone. We can do it directly in iCloud (even if we don’t have space on it) or through our Mac. In the first case we just have to open the app settingstap our name at the top, tap iCloud and then in Backup to iCloud. If this is not the case, we activate Backup this iPhone and click perform now.

The Apple ID is the email address that appears just below our name. Likewise, if we don’t remember the password, we can touch each other password and security in the same section to change it. If so, we’ll be sure to write it down as soon as we change it.
After signing in with our Apple account on the new iPhone, we will be asked how to recover the information. here We will choose to use a copy in iCloud or on a Mac or PC according to what we have previously chosen.

If we choose the first one, the system will take care of everything after we have chosen the latest copy that we want to restore.
Configure some other parameters like Face ID, wallet app cards, display style and other details, we will be done. We see the home screen of our iPhone with several applications.
