Hello there Elfeghali58,


I understand that you're looking for assistance with transferring information from your iPhone 7 Plus to your iPhone 13 Pro Max as the last transfer of data was imported from your iPhone 6, correct? If so, check out the following information for assistance with completing the transfer.


If you still have the information from your iPhone 6 stored on your iPhone 13 Pro Max, you'll want to erase the iPhone so you're able to import the data from your iPhone 7 Plus. For assistance with this, take a look at the following resource:


Erase iPhone


After you have erased your iPhone, you'll want to start the transfer of data with your iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 13 Pro Max next to each other. You'll need to initiate the process on your iPhone 7 Plus as that will allow the correct information to transfer to your iPhone 13 Pro Max. For help with transferring the data, use the following resource:


Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you need further assistance, it would be best to Contact Apple Support for additional help with this.


Have a great day!

Elfeghali58,


Thanks for this update, and great question!


With restoring a backup to a device, this would then erase what was previously stored on the iPhone so there wouldn't be a way to restore a backup from the iPhone 7 Plus. What you may be able to try for some information to sync and merge would be to use iCloud on your devices. With this, certain information would backup to iCloud, then sync to all of your devices. For help with setting up iCloud on your devices, check out the following resource:


Set up iCloud on all your devices


While I understand this doesn't allow you to restore what is on your iPhone 7 Plus to your iPhone 13 Pro Max directly, this seems like it would be the best alternative to have all of your data synced together. Depending on how much information you have to back up, you may need to upgrade iCloud storage. If that is the case, use the following resource for help with that:


Upgrade to iCloud+


Take care!

Thanks a lot for your reply but I would like to do since I already have the data from iPhone 6 on my iPhone 13, I would like to keep it and add the data from my iPhone 7 to my iPhone 13 as well. This way I consolidate both datas into one phone and I would carry one iPhone instead of two.

do you think it is possible to do that please?


thanks again
