With the latest version of Apple's iOS, iPhones and iPads are getting a new migration helper that makes it easier to seamlessly switch between devices.

Apple has released iOS 12.4 for iPhones and iPads, and with it a brand-new migration wizard.

When setting up a new iPhone, this new feature will help you wirelessly transfer data like app settings and photos from an old device to a new one, all without needing to synchronise your iCloud or install third-party apps.

If you have an older iPhone 5 or 4S or iPad (second, third and fourth generation or first-generation Mini), you should definitely update their operating systems – not least for the security patches.

Otherwise, Apple says you face GPS precision problems and seeing the wrong date and time from Nov 3 as a result of an issue with GPS.

Meanwhile a parallel update to watchOS for the Apple Watch has restored full functionality of the walkie-talkie service for calls between watches. – dpa
