Have you bought a new iPhone and want to safely transfer all your data? Or do you want to make a backup to protect your photos, contacts, messages and apps against data loss? FIXNOW is happy to help — safely and quickly, in our store in the heart of Antwerp.
Your iPhone holds a wealth of personal information. When switching to a new device you want to carry that data over seamlessly, and a regular backup in between is essential too: that way your data stays safe, even in case of theft, loss or a faulty device. We advise you on which method suits your situation best and guide you through the entire process.
Our backup service in Antwerp
FIXNOW Antwerp helps you with:
- Making a complete backup — we assist you with a full backup via iCloud or iTunes/Finder.
- Transferring data from your old to your new iPhone — photos, contacts, apps and settings move over with you.
- Setting up iCloud backup — we configure automatic backups, so your data stays protected against data loss.

We work with all iPhone models and iOS versions — from an older iPhone 8 to the latest iPhone 17.
Transferring iPhone data: which method suits you?
- iCloud backup and restore — your data is stored wirelessly in the cloud. Backups run automatically while your iPhone is charging and connected to Wi-Fi; you do need enough iCloud storage.
- iTunes/Finder backup — a local backup on your Mac or PC. Often faster for very large backups, and you don't need internet to restore.
- Direct transfer (Quick Start) — your data moves wirelessly from your old iPhone to your new one by keeping both devices close together (iOS 11 or later).
Not sure which to choose? We'll look together at which method works best for your situation and assist with the entire process.
Data recovery in Antwerp

Data recovery is complex and depends heavily on the situation. Bring your device in, and we'll give you honest advice on the options. A recent backup limits the risk of data loss.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment to have my iPhone data transferred in Antwerp?
That's the smoothest way: book an appointment online and bring your devices to our store in the center of Antwerp. That way, time is reserved for you right away.
How do I prepare for the transfer to my new iPhone?
You can already take a few steps yourself:
- Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection.
- Charge both iPhones sufficiently (at least half the battery).
- Keep your Apple ID and password handy — they're often needed for iCloud services.
- If possible, make a recent backup of your old iPhone beforehand.
- Make sure there's enough free storage space on your new iPhone.
Do you also do data recovery in Antwerp?
We primarily help with data transfer and backups. If data has already been lost — for example due to water damage or a device that no longer starts up — we advise you on the options for data recovery. Data recovery is complex; bring your device in and we'll discuss what's possible in your situation.
Is my data kept safe during a repair?
Yes, during a standard repair such as screen replacement or battery replacement your data is preserved. We do recommend making a recent backup beforehand.
How long does transferring iPhone data take?
That depends on the amount of data and the method chosen: a local backup via your computer is often faster for very large amounts, while wireless methods depend on Wi-Fi speed. We understand you want to get back up and running quickly, and we advise the method that works fastest for your situation.
