Got a shiny new iPhone? Congratulations! But before you dive in, you'll need to reconnect your trusty Apple Watch. Don't worry, it's easier than you think! Here's how to pair your Apple Watch to a new phone:
First, **back up your Apple Watch!** This is crucial to avoid losing any data. You can do this through the Watch app on your old phone.
Next, if your old iPhone is still around, the easiest way is to **unpair your Apple Watch from your old iPhone** directly through the Watch App on your OLD iPhone. This removes the Activation Lock and prepares it for the new phone. Go to My Watch -> All Watches, tap the info button next to your watch, and choose "Unpair Apple Watch".
If you no longer have access to your old iPhone, don't panic! During the setup process on your new iPhone, when prompted to pair an Apple Watch, choose to restore from a previous backup. Follow the on-screen instructions, and your watch will be good as new!
Remember to be patient during the pairing process. A stable Wi-Fi connection is your friend. Once complete, you'll be back to enjoying all the features of your Apple Watch on your new iPhone in no time!
