Restoring iPhone in new device

Dears,

I just got iPhone 8.

i created back up of my previous iPhone on Mac but now I am unable to upload the back up to the new device.

Mac has identified my new iPhone 8 as a new device and I can’t use the backup from the previous phone. What to do ?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

If you have a backup from you old iPhone.

  • Make sure you are using the same Apple ID as old iPhone
  • Make sure the new iPhone has the same or newer iOS version than the old iPhone
  • Make sure your new iPhone has enough free space.
