It’s almost time for the iPhone 7. And, as when any new iPhone model hits the scene, there are sure to be plenty of people staring at their newly booted devices, wondering where some of their favorite data went.

In an effort to cut this problem off, iMobie is releasing an iPhone 7-ready overhaul of AnyTrans, a handy tool for data management and transfer. The fifth and latest version boasts a specially tailored and revamped user interface meant to make the jump from iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 more like skipping a crack in the pavement — quick and barely noticeable.

Among the most powerful tools in the AnyTrans arsenal are its Clone and Merge features. With these, you can easily copy all the data hidden in the nooks and crannies of your current iPhone — downloaded music, notes, Safari items, ringtones, even custom settings — and transfer it straight to your new device with a single click.

With Merge, AnyTrans adds the data from your old phone to the existing data on the new one. With Clone, it overwrites the corresponding file types in the new phone.

After doing this, your new iPhone will essentially wake up with all the memories of your old one (except the bad ones, if you choose to get rid of them).

AnyTrans gives you control over iOS backups and transfers

AnyTrans is useful even if you’re not thinking of dropping coin on the latest iPhone. It operates as a simple but effective two-way syncing station for any iOS device, including providing access to data and backups stored on iTunes.

But unlike iTunes or iCloud, it allows for selective transfer of files and data types stored on your phone. For media files, AnyTrans transfers them in full fidelity, bypassing the restrictive syncing process enforced by iTunes.

You can use AnyTrans to install or uninstall apps and create backups, or transfer/back up app data and saved games, among other convenient features for users who want more flexibility in managing their data.
