Compatibility between iPhone and iPad
So i have an iPhone 13 mini and i just got an iPad 6 generation for free. As some of you might know, generation 6 is discontinued. Now to my problem, so my iPhone is iOS 18.1.1 and my new iPad is on iOS 17.7.3. So When i Tried to use the backup from my iPhone to my new iPad it says that i cant use the backup because the iOS is not compatible. Is there any other Way to transfer apps and appdata from iPhone to iPad?
