[PSA] If you own an iPhone and plan on getting a new one, Evade the trade ban!

PSA

So recently i got myself a new iPhone and was trying to figure out how i can bypass the trade ban you get when switching phones. I figured out a way to evade it, not sure if it will work for everyone but it did for me so hopefully this could possibly help you!

  1. Have iTunes installed on your computer.
  2. Make a backup of your current iPhone on iTunes
  3. Restore your new iPhone using your other iPhone's backup (Must use the same Apple ID)
  4. Your backup will hold your old Steam app, if you sign in on your new phone you should not get a trade ban(i didn't)
  5. ???
  6. Profit?

Hopefully this works for everyone like it worked for me, i don't exactly have a large sample size to test this :D

EDIT: Apparently syncing over from iCloud works too -_-
