Transferring phone data

Hi! I currently have an apple iPhone as my work phone. I’m transferring to a new company but have a lot saved on this phone I don’t want to lose. My current Apple ID is my work email which I will lose when I switch jobs. Is there anyone to transfer that info to my new Apple ID? I’m mostly concerned about phone numbers, contacts and files. Thanks!

 Change your Apple ID email address on your current Apple ID so you retain access to your data and prior purchases. Note the restrictions in the article.


Apple ID Name Change.  * 


Make sure you turn of Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
