iphone 14 pro setup needs to be redone

When I set up my iphone 14 Pro my old phone was not fully backed up to the iCloud, so all of the set up of the new phone is one year old. I then backed up the old phone to the iCloud, but do not know how to get the new phone to now sync with the old phone back up. How can I start the set up process all over?

Hello jazzquilt,


To restore a new backup to a device, you'll just need to erase it to get back to the initial setup menu. Go to Settings  > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone, and select Erase All Content & Settings.


Erase iPhone


After the erase completes and you're back to the "Hello" screen, just go through the setup menu until you get to the Apps & Data page, then choose Restore from iCloud Backup and select the backup you want to restore.


Set up your iPhone or iPad


Cheers!
