How to transfer data from old iPhone to iPhone 6s using AnyTrans

Although iTunes/iCloud does a fairly decent job in backing up and restoring your entire iOS device, it isn’t so hot when coming to selective backup and restore. Besides, if you want to transfer the contents that you didn’t get directly from iTunes, Apps or iBooks Stores, like imported MP3s, videos, or CDs, neither iTunes nor iCloud can help. In this case, you can use a third-party program – AnyTrans. Its Phone Clone feature allows you to transfer all contents in one-click, including those non-purchased items.

1. Launch AnyTrans
2. Plug both your old iPhone and your new iPhone 6s into the computer.
3. Go to the main page of your old iPhone and click Clone Device button.
4. Confirm the target device, and click Next.
5. Select the data you want to transfer to iPhone 6s, then click Start.
6. Wait for the transfer process to complete.

Depending on how much data you transfer, it might take a while to complete the transfer. With everything transferred to your new iPhoen 6s, you can just enjoy it to the fullest.
