Getting everything off your old phone

Your contacts, photos, text messages, and apps do not have to be entered by hand one at a time. Apple has a proper way to transfer this in one pass, but it works best when your Apple Account and passwords are already sorted out, which is easy to get stuck on if you are doing it alone.

We handle the transfer itself, then go through the phone with you to confirm the important things actually made it over: your photo albums, your contacts with the right names attached, and the apps you use every day like email, banking, and messaging.

Your Apple Account, explained plainly

Most of the frustration with a new iPhone traces back to one thing: not remembering the Apple Account password, or not realizing a second device needs to approve the sign-in. We help you get signed in properly, set up so future updates and backups happen without a fuss.

  • Confirming your Apple Account email and password work correctly
  • Turning on automatic photo and contact backup so you never lose them again
  • Setting up Face ID or a passcode you will actually remember
  • Making sure your old phone is wiped safely once the new one is confirmed working

What is different on a new iPhone

If your last iPhone is several years old, some things have moved: the way you access the camera, how notifications look, where settings live. We do not just hand you the phone and leave. We sit with you and go through the changes at a comfortable pace, and you can ask us to repeat anything as many times as you need.

Booking a visit

Call (615) 852-5565 Monday to Saturday between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Bring both phones to the visit, the old one and the new one, along with any passwords you remember, and we will take it from there.
