Restore iPhone Data

iPhone is one of the most popular mobiles in the market. And everybody knows how quality and unique iPhones are. What most people love about iPhones is that Apple company is always upgrading their products, especially on iPhones where new generations and models are released each year. And iPhone enthusiasts are always looking forward to what's new models to come. When they have the latest models, the first thing to do is to restore the data from their previous iPhones or backup files.

Other iPhone users are doing the restoration of data when they encounter bugs on their iPhones. And if you encounter the same issue on your iPhone, then we will discuss with you how to restore iPhone data from iTunes/iCloud whether you have a PC or not.

Restore iPhone Data from iTunes/iCloud

We have two options for restoring iPhone data - using iTunes or the iCloud services. Now, let's check how the methods work for restoring data.

Method 1: Restore iPhone Data from iTunes (PC or Mac)

iTunes is a media management software created by Apple Inc. It lets you organize, add to, and play your digital media collection both on PC and iOS devices. It allows you to sync iOS data from your iOS device to your PC. However, if you try to restore your iPhone from your iTunes, it will delete all current information and settings on your phone and the backup restored from iTunes replaces them. So, if it's fine with you, then let's proceed;

Step 1. Sync your iPhone to your PC/Mac using the USB lightning cable. The iTunes on your PC will launch automatically and will detect your device.

Note: Apple has removed iTunes from macOS 10.15 (Catalina). So, instead of iTunes, Apple's new backup option for Mac is the "Finder" feature.

Step 2. Start the restoration process by entering the summary page on the iTunes interface then click the Restore Backup. For Mac using the Finder feature, just select the "Your Device's Name" option and click the restore backup.

Method 2: Restore iPhone Data from iCloud

iCloud is a cloud storage and cloud-computing service created by Apple Inc. Just like with your device storage, iCloud secures all your data like photos, files, notes, and many more. So if you want to restore your iPhone data using iCloud, you can restore the data without using a PC. All you need is a stable Wi-Fi network to complete the process.

Step 1. You should reset your iPhone first before restoring the iCloud backup.

Step 2. After resetting, activate your iPhone.

Step 3. Sign in to your iCloud account on your iPhone and restore the iCloud backup. This is how you restore your iPhone data from iTunes and iCloud with or without a PC/Mac.
