As iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus is rumored to be debuted on September, most Apple fans, especially iPhone fans are thinking about upgrading their old iPhones for the new iPhone 6s, irrespective of various arising critiques and the high cost.
Upgrading your iPhone to the most current iPhone 6s does not mean you don’t want all the data on your old iPhone. As the most important information, contacts must be transferred to your new iPhone. There are three ways for you to choose in regard of transferring all the contacts from old iPhone to new iPhone.
As Apple introduced iCloud service in 2011, you can choose to transfer all the iPhone contacts through iCoud backup. If you don’t use iCloud or you haven’t created any iCloud backup, you can achieve so by using iTunes. If you haven’t created any iTunes backup either, you can export all the contacts information from the old iPhone directly and then transfer to the new iPhone 6s selectively. No matter you choose to transfer through iTunes or iCloud, you need to set up your new iPhone 6S by following setup directions to set it up at first. I am not gong to walk you through this process step by step, as you can find the detailed instructions at Apple Support Center.
