Three easy ways to move data from your old iPhone to your new one
Transferring all of your data is a process you must undertake when switching from one iPhone to another. This includes all of the settings, applications, and other valuable files that are stored on locally your old device or backed up on iCloud.
Downloading any third-party software or apps is not necessary to make the switch; Instead, just follow the steps below to move data from your old iPhone to your new upgrade.
Both the old and new iPhone are required for this procedure. Verify that there is enough battery power for both devices.
-Make sure the old iPhone's Bluetooth is turned on by first bringing the two iPhones close to one another.
-When a prompt shows up on the screen of your old iPhone, turn on the new one and select 'Continue'.
-After pressing 'Continue', there should be an animation on the screen of your new iPhone. Scan this animation with the old iPhone's camera. The two devices will be connected.
-The new iPhone will then request your passcode. Enter both your Apple ID and the passcode. -At this point, you can also set up Face ID to make identification on your phone much easier.
-Choose 'Transfer From iPhone' after entering your Apple ID and passcode, then wait for the transfer to finish.
-At this point, you can also decide to use another option to download data from iCloud.
In order to use iCloud to transfer your data, you'll first want to ensure an up-to-date backup of your old iPhone on iCloud.
-Turn on your new iPhone after backing up your old one to iCloud.
-Connect the new iPhone to WiFi and continue with the setup.
-Choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the 'Apps & Data' view, then log in to iCloud.
-Choose the backup you want to restore and wait for the backup to finish downloading.
Lastly, you could use iTunes and your computer to move data from an old iPhone to a new one.
-Make sure you are always using the latest version of iTunes.
-Just like in the second method mentioned above, you need an up-to-date backup of your old iPhone to use iTunes for transferring data.
-If your iPhone has already been set up, you might need to reset it before executing this method.
– Turn on your new iPhone and follow the setup instructions after backing up your old iPhone to iTunes.
-Choose 'Restore from Mac or PC' under the 'Apps & Data' view, then connect your iPhone by a USB cord to your Mac or PC.
-On your computer, open iTunes and locate your new device on the top-left corner of the screen.
-Choose the backup you wish to restore by selecting 'Restore Backup'.
-Wait for the backup to finish downloading.
You can now transfer data from your old iPhone to a new one using Quick Start, iCloud, or iTunes. These methods are safe, don't require any third-party apps, and also create a backup of your device — something that's smart to do regularly, either locally on your computer or to the cloud.

Elon Musk-Telegram AI pact sets the stage for more drama
It's hard to find a pair of tech billionaires more alike than Elon Musk and Pavel Durov . Both are staunch libertarians who run large social media platforms with minimal content moderation, and both champion themselves as defenders of free speech. Both are also pro-natalists, with Durov claiming to have fathered more than 100 biological children through sperm donation. It's an ideological match made in heaven — and perhaps in business too. Durov this week announced a one-year partnership with Musk's xAI , in which the latter artificial intelligence lab would pay Telegram $300 million in cash and equity to integrate its Grok chatbot into the messaging app. In essence, Telegram gets whizzy new AI features while Grok gets distribution on a platform with roughly 1 billion users, double the number of people on X. But there are a couple of snags. Durov, for a start, appears to believe an oral contract is as good as a written one. Hours after Durov announced the partnership and its financial terms on X, Musk witheringly replied: 'No deal has been signed.' Musk may not be in the best of moods. With the true impact of his Department of Government Efficiency still unclear, he left his post at the White House this week. Now he's turning back to a business empire in flux, having leaned on AI to balance his books. The generative AI boom has pushed the value of two-year-old xAI to $80 billion, and Musk recently merged that company and X (formerly known as Twitter and worth far less) under a single entity, xAI Holdings. That gives X some much-needed stability, but xAI still needs to make money, and the Durov deal could help. More users of Grok mean more opportunities to sell subscriptions for the AI tool, which cost between $3 and $40 a there's a historical precedent for this kind of distribution partnership to work. Dell Inc. made a killing from pre-installing Microsoft Corp.'s Windows on its PCs, while Apple Inc. has earned $20 billion a year from Alphabet Inc. by making Google the default search tool on iPhones. There's another tantalizing possibility for Musk: scraping messages and content across Telegram and using both to train Grok to be even smarter. A key feature of building today's generative AI systems is that priming them with more data leads to better capabilities, and until now Grok has benefited from training on the mass of text (and bilge) on X. But Durov seems to have nixed that possibility. When a user on X asked Durov if he'd allow such scraping, he replied that user privacy was 'paramount' and that Grok would only extract messages people shared with the bot directly. Perhaps this was Durov's way of preempting Musk from seeking access to Telegram data — hence going public on the partnership so early. And maybe we shouldn't be surprised if the two hash out the issue out publicly. That isn't the only type of drama to expect from this pairing. Should Grok get plugged into Telegram's app this summer, it will be one of the deepest known integrations of an AI tool into a major Western mobile messaging and broadcasting service. You can't use AI to edit tweets on X or messages in WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, even though all those platforms now have an AI assistant of some sort. But on Telegram, you'll be able to do just that. A video demo posted by Durov on Wednesday shows a Telegram user typing the word 'great' in a text to their work colleagues. Grok offers options to 'improve,' 'expand' or 'change tone.' When the user taps 'expand,' their message turns into: 'Excellent, team effort at its best. Keep up the good work!' This at first simply looks like another example of AI bringing blandness and vapidity to human conversation. Apple and Google both offer suggested AI replies in their email software. But using that functionality to edit mobile text messages in real time pushes the technology further into the mechanics behind human voice and intention. It also portends a darker impact on a platform like Telegram, where content rules are scant. The app is well-known for hosting extremist content and conspiracy theories, with neo-Nazi groups in the US using it to organize rallies, while some of last year's anti-immigration riots in the UK were promoted on the platform. Far-right groups, meanwhile, have found ways to 'jailbreak' AI bots like Grok, getting them to generate content that breaks the rules of other social media firms; for instance, generating a photorealistic image of mountains that spell out 'The Jews did 9/11,' according to the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism, which singled out Grok as being relatively easy to exploit. Musk has yet to publicly respond to criticisms about jailbreaking Grok. If Grok allows Telegram to create more persuasive memes and other forms of propaganda at scale, that could make it an even more powerful tool for spreading toxicity, from disinformation to hate speech to other odious content. Musk and Durov have kicked off a mini corporate drama of their own, but the real chaos could unfold on the platform itself, and it won't be pretty.

What will be iPhone 17 display size? Fresh rumours hint at size increase
Apple is poised to revamp its flagship iPhone lineup in 2025, and display sizes are front and centre in this year's refresh. While whispers of the sleek new iPhone 17 Air have been doing the rounds for months, the lesser-talked-about standard iPhone 17 is also getting a fresh rumours in the screen display analyst Ross Young has once again spilt the Apple-branded beans, reaffirming the display sizes of the full iPhone 17 range. The reveal serves as a handy reminder of what Apple's cooking up, especially since most of the rumour spotlight has been hogged by the mysterious Air 17, 17 Pro, 17 Air, 17 Pro Max: Display leakAccording to the new leak, the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro may sport a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max will be sold as 6.9 inches. As for the iPhone 17 Air, Apple is most likely to place a 6.55-inch display, which is smaller than the 6.7-inch panel on the iPhone 16 Plus, which it's expected to replace. In short: - iPhone 17: Upgraded to a 6.27-inch display, up from the current 6.12 inches.- iPhone 17 Air: All-new at 6.55 inches.- iPhone 17 Pro: Also with a 6.27-inch display, identical to the iPhone 16 Pro.- iPhone 17 Pro Max: No changes here; still rocking a 6.86-inch iPhone 17 series: What to expectThe iPhone 17 Air is shaping up to be the newcomer with flair—a lighter phone that could take inspiration from Apple's iPad Air branding. With its uniquely sized display, it's expected to sit somewhere between the base model and the Pro range, striking a balance between power and contrast, the standard iPhone 17 might be the most conservative of the lot. Apart from the modest display bump, it's expected to carry forward the design language of the iPhone 16, with no major changes to the rear camera housing. That said, Apple's not leaving it completely in the of the biggest shifts across the entire iPhone 17 family is rumoured to be the expansion of 120Hz ProMotion displays to all models. Previously a Pro-exclusive treat, this buttery-smooth refresh rate will now give even the entry-level iPhone a slicker user experience—finally bringing consistency to Apple's there's the camera. A 24-megapixel front-facing camera is reportedly on the cards, a noticeable step up for selfie lovers and video callers. And under the hood, Apple is expected to drop in its latest A19 chip, promising faster performance and better efficiency across the the Pro and Air models could be getting a visual shake-up in the form of a new horizontal camera bar, marking a significant design departure from the classic vertical array. The standard iPhone 17, however, appears to be sticking with the familiar vertical dual-lens setup, keeping things simple for fans of continuity.
