iOS 13 updating in progress. From left to right, XS Max, XR, and XS.
iPad Pro is waiting for its own update to iPadOS. iPadOS and iOS 13.1 are coming on 25th September 2019.
The new Series 5 has also been set up and paired to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which I am using to take this photo.
Stuff I like in iOS 13 so far: Dark Mode, Memoji Sticker packs, and the tighter privacy controls (no, Facebook, you are NOT allowed to use my Bluetooth to track my location. Thanks, iOS 13!).
Since I also just shifted from the iPhone XS Max to the 11 Pro Max, I see it is now possible to do a full iPhone-to-iPhone transfer. This means that ALL your iPhone content will transfer over instead of just iCloud credentials.
No need to wait for the apps to download from iCloud in the background. Just phone-to-phone transfer, lock, stock and barrel. Useful for folks who have a large photo library and don’t want to wait for the new iPhone to download the photos from iCloud. I left it to transfer overnight but it only took about 3 hours (I have a LOT of stuff on my iPhone haha!)

Uodate: An update on Apple’s latest iPhone-to-iPhone transfer mode for setting up new iPhones: WhatsApp and all its data moved over cleanly too. I tested this when I was moving the wife’s data from her iPhone 8 Plus to a newer iPhone.
(Do backup your WhatsApp chat history to iCloud, as well as a full iCloud Backup of the old iPhone, before attempting this, as a precaution.)
