Should I make a backup first?
Yes. Even if you use Quick Start, a recent backup provides an additional safety net.

Transfer data to iPhone Duo: preparing for the switch
A well-prepared device migration saves time. Backup, eSIM and access to important accounts should all be sorted before you start.
Before migration
Update your current iPhone and make sure a recent backup exists. Keep your Apple Account credentials, device passcode and carrier account access available.
- Current iCloud or computer backup
- Enough storage on the new device
- Prepare eSIM transfer or activation
- Check authenticator and banking access
Quick Start and backups
Apple's Quick Start can transfer much of your data directly. Restoring from a backup is another option. The best method depends on storage, internet connection and available time.
Check everything afterwards
Verify photos, messages, important apps, Wallet items and mobile service. Do not erase the old device until essential data and accounts work correctly on iPhone Duo.
