As we speak I am on my soon-to-be traded-in iPhone Xr reading articles about the difference between backing up to iCloud versus backing up to my computer.

My iPhone 7 Plus (running some version of iOS 12 or 13) is connected to my 7 year old MBP (running Low Sierra), theoretically being backed up.

The first backup didn’t go.

I have NO idea if I can restore the data to the new phone via this old contraption.

Everything I read says that my iCloud backup ought to work.

I’m thinking I might try that first, to squeeze out any cruft.

But I have to know that my text messages made the journey over, first.
