How to Transfer Service to New iPhone
Step 1: Enable Dark Mode and iPhone XS/MX/8/7/XL
Before you start the transfer process, make sure your new iPhone is compatible with the old iPhone. If your new iPhone is an iPhone XS or later, you can enable dark mode to match the old iPhone. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Customize >(grayed out option) > switch to Dark Mode.
Step 2: Set Up Face ID or Touch ID
If your new iPhone doesn’t have a home button or Touch ID, you need to set up Face ID or Touch ID. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Touch ID & Passcode > Set Up. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
