With the release of the latest gem from Apple, many users tired of the Android system may decide to leave the old Samsung mobile phone to switch to the brand new iPhone model. Pass da Samsung a iPhone 12/11/X/8/7/7Plus/6 it is definitely a good idea if you want to try the iOS system at a very high level.

iTunes is essential because it contains the drivers to be able to communicate with the iPhone PC.

Through SMART SWITCH I have backed up my Samsung S6 on the PC that I no longer have. Now I would like to transfer the backup contents to the iPhone 6 S. I don't know how to do it. I hope for your help. Thanks

Unfortunately that backup can only be transferred to another Android device (www.iphonexpertise.it/come-funziona-smart-switch/)
If you can get an Android phone you could first pass the content on it and then transfer everything (contacts, sms, photos, etc ...) to iPhone via Mobiletrans-
thank you!

If you made the backup using the MobileTrans program reviewed in the article you can then move the backup to the iPhone.
If, on the other hand, you have used other programs to make the backup then you will not be able to transfer anything from it to the iphone ...
mythical thanks
