I did vaguely remember that restoring from iCloud previously was not the best experience as it didn't include the apps and took a long time. (Also not all apps store their data in iCloud, e.g. AutoSleep) So I started with an iTunes backup of my old phone.

But just in case, I also wanted to trigger a fresh iCloud backup. Took me quite a bit to find this. I couldn't find any current documentation pointing to the right place. Turns out it is in: Settings > iCloud > iCloud > iCloud Backup.pic.twitter.com/qBBNzfVGPt

So all set now… but then I could not remember the right password for my iTunes Backup. So how can I change it? Only by “resetting all settings.”
(There is no official docs on what that actually entails.) That’s quite the opposite of what I want. I would rather not.

Well, maybe the migrator is an option then? Allowing to directly transfer data wirelessly… unless it fails for unclear reasons. It asked me to bring the device closer while it was right beside it. The only option was to stop and start all over.

Ok, so next option is iCloud. That worked. Just quite slow.
But it turns, some data was missing, recent activity and health data, all my history in AutoSleep, …pic.twitter.com/V2zvU4OvCU

Also while restoring, I had to go again through the obnoxious Apple Pay onboarding. If you select “Set Up Later in Wallet,” you will get a red badge on your settings prompting you again to set it up. I really would like to, but my bank doesn't support it.pic.twitter.com/lS9FlIw3bU

In the end I found the password for my iTunes backup and could successfully restore from that. This worked like a charm. But apps had to reload as well, so not a huge advantage beside that it also included data excluded from iCloud backup. (e.g. AutoSleep)

But… I already re-paired my watch, after I restored the first time and I did not unpair after. Somehow I missed that after restoring the 2nd time. So I lost all my workouts on the next day, because I had to completely reset first before I could restore the watch from iCloud.

FIN.
I hope this helps others upgrading.
Apple could imho really improve this process. There could be much better guidance through this, e.g. suggest to unpair your watch first etc.Prikaži ovu nit
