I see that many people offer iTunes as the tool, in fact, I prefer iCloud which can transfer contacts from iPhone to iPhone without PC as long as there is WI-FI.

The first thing you are required to do is backup the old iPhone contacts to iCloud and then sync them to the new one, the details are as follow:
1. Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and tap on Back Up now button. you need to wait the backup process.
2.After the backup is complete, check the Last Backup time to ensure that your backup has been successful.
3.Now turn off your old iPhone and turn on your new iPhone.
4.In new iPhone, choose “Restore from iCloud Backup,” tap next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
Thank You so much for the help.
Hello Sam. Thank you for your comments. The converter is trial-ware which allows you convert half of each video or audio file. To convert full file, you will need to purchase license code from the buy link in the program to finish registration.
I purchased the Wondershare Mobile Trans app because it stated it would transfer 3GS information to my iphone 6. But the 3GS does not connect. What is the issue. If I cannot use it with the 3GS, I would like a refund. Can you help me?
