The migrations for Mrs T sucked for me. It was all me, but they still sucked.

I went to make a backup of her phone using Finder. I selected "Backup All Data" and then checked the box to encrypt. Entered the password and then it proceeded to make the backup... after it defaulted back to "Backup Important" stuff. So I ended up having to delete everything and start over. +200GB of stuff. Took forever to migrate her phone.

Her Watch didn't "just work" either. I had to manually unpair it from her old phone and then add it to the new phone. I'm glad it was me doing it and not her. She would have been so frustrated about the whole process.

The iPad was no different. I didn't catch that it did the same defaulting so I just let it do the basics and manually did the passwords and stuff as needed. She lost some apps. but they were worthless and unused anyway. This actually helped her clean house.
