iPhone X from iPhone 7:
What you must know?
Bought a iPhone X through Singtel. Must say I’m one of those lucky ones who managed to get it earlier. Didn’t queue at all.
Collected the iPhone X through POPStation. However, the transition from an older iPhone user didn’t seems to be as smooth as before.
The iPhone X was shipped with an older iOS
Your iOS might be newer due to a recent security patch. This will also mean that you can’t do the usual restore from backup on your new iPhone X.
What to Do?
1. On your iPhone X: Select ‘Setup as a new iPhone’. Update the iOS on your iPhone X to latest.
2. Restore from iTunes or iCloud backup
