My phone broke and I can't turn it on but the data is backed up on my IPad. I'm getting the 11 in a few days and since my iPad is 4th gen, it is still on iOS 10.I'm worried that it won't transfer the new stuff like the widgets I had on my iPhone home screen to my new phone. When you transfer data to a new device does it transfer data from the device of your choice or does it transfer the data from your most recent backup?
iPhone 7, iOS 14
Hello user1609hdhe,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're getting a new iPhone soon and are wanting to know if the data will transfer from your iPhone, which is not working, or your iPad. If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, you should be able to use that data to set up your new iPhone. If not, you can use your iPad, but it will only transfer the data the iPad contains. Here's more information on locating backups, and transferring data to your new iPhone, just in case:
Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thanks again, and take care.

You're very welcome! That's right. You can use the last iCloud backup from your iPhone to set up your new device.
Have a great day!
This was very helpful thank you so much!!!
so since I backed my data up before my phone broke will I be able to just transfer the data from the cloud?
iCloud Backup
