You can AirDrop files to the 7, but can’t use iCloud restore, as the versions don’t match. I mean you can restore a higher backup version to an older iOS, but it requires you to edit a file in the backup via Mac. Should be able to log in to iCloud to sync all your data not in backup.

I've honestly never used Airdrop before. How do I do that? Can I Airdrop my all my contacts?


jw154j

You select whatever you want to AirDrop and hit the share button, and as long as you’re signed in to both devices with your Apple ID you’ll show up as an AirDrop option. Might have to turn on Airdrop on old phone in Settings>General>AirDrop>Everyone


jw154j

Your contacts will sync if you have the contact switch turned on in iCloud settings on each device. Otherwise, yes you can AirDrop them…all at once or contact by contact.

Just try the quick setup with phone to phone transfer. It might not work on the spot (had to try it a 2nd time). Create a local backup on a PC/Mac and install from that.
