Using iTunes or Finder
Connect your iPhone to your computer. Open iTunes (Windows or macOS Mojave and earlier) or Finder (macOS Catalina and later). Select your device and click Back Up Now.
Sign Out of Your Apple ID
To prevent issues during transfer, sign out of iCloud and other services. Go to Settings > [Your Name] and tap Sign Out. Enter your Apple ID password if prompted.
Erase Your iPhone
Once backed up and signed out, erase all content and settings. Navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings. Confirm your choice and wait for the device to reset.
Set Up Your New Device
When your new iPhone 15 Pro Black Titanium arrives, turn it on and follow the setup prompts. Choose to restore from your backup during setup.
Restoring from iCloud Backup

Restoring from iTunes or Finder Backup
Connect your new device to your computer. Open iTunes or Finder, select your device, and choose Restore Backup. Pick the most recent backup and wait for the process to complete.
