[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1942314, member: 83420"] This is more difficult to give a categorical statement. Usually, there's no problem; but the following has to be considered: Her backup is from 2018; but you think that relates to an iPhone 4 or thereabouts. First question is what was the final iOS on the old iPhone? That could be a problem. There may/may not be a Firmware difference as well. Also, this backup you have: is it on a Mac or in iCloud. That can make a difference. When I've faced this problem, I've always found it easier to do so from a Mac (either via iTunes in the past or Finder currently). As regards the Apps - well obviously the old apps will either be upgraded or deleted if no longer available for the current iPhone. Her Contacts should be OK. I realise that my response is a bit "wooly". I think you can only try and see if it works, or dispense with the backup and move on with the new :unsure: :cautious: Ian [/QUOTE]
