My new iPhone landed today, and it was a lot easier (than three years ago) to transfer everything over from my old phone to the new phone.
I picked the Pro because I wanted the nicer camera, and I always go with black phone, black case. No bling for me. I’m not even going to try to write a review (since there are already so many on YouTube, and I am no expert).
The 16 is a smidge larger, and the display bezel is thinner, adding up to a slightly larger screen. I’m using Apple’s silicone case since the leather cases are no longer available.
The silicone case feels nice enough, and hey- no animals were harmed in the process of making it, right?
I used the direct phone-to-phone wireless transfer that is available nowadays (the other method is to use Apple’s iCloud). The transfer took a while, because I moved over some 400Gb of data 😱, mostly photos and videos. (I’m a trigger happy photographer, and what about it? And yes, I do store my pictures on the cloud as well).
At the outset the estimated time was 17 hours, but as the hours went by, the transfer time estimate shrunk as well.
In the end, it took just under 8 hours to transfer everything.
