Transfer Playlist from iPhone to iPhone with iTunes

No doubt, iTunes comes to the mind of many people when it comes to transferring content from iPhone to iPhone. Well, the thing you should know that iTunes by Apple has been redesigned, and also relying on the new user interface can be a little bit challenging.

But iTunes is a one-way syncing tool which means you can only sync music from your iTunes to your iPhone, so you can't directly sync music from iPhone to iPhone with iTunes. And you should know that iTunes will erase the existing data that you synced with another iTunes library.

For that case, we assume that your playlists on your old iPhone are also stored in iTunes, you can sync them to your new iPhone with iTunes. Here is how:

If you're using iTunes 12 or later, follow the below steps:

Connect your new iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
Click on your device icon and go to the "Music" tab.
Check the "Sync Music" box. In the "Playlists" section, select the target playlists you would like to transfer to your new iPhone.
Hit on the "Sync/Apply" button and that's it.
