I know variations of this topic abound on iMore, but I haven’t seen one specific to my question - a very simple one: syncing two iPhones to the same library, with same Apple ID, iCloud account, with the second number being a verified number on the account, etc.
I have a 7+ and a 6+. The 7+ is my main number and associated with my Apple ID. The 6+ is a second number on my ATT account.
If my friend gives me her iPhone - identical to mine - a 256gb 7p - and I add it to my ATT account, giving a number I currently use on my spare 6+, what happens when I connect it to my iTunes library and click sync ?
It’ll warn me doing so will erase/replace the data, but what else? Will it allow me to have two phones sync’able to that one library?
I need my 7+ to remain unchanged in relation to my Apple ID and all that, and I need the iTunes library to remain uncorrupted with respect to it syncing with the 7+ as my main Apple ID phone. But I want that second phone to also copy the whole library and Apple ID info as well.
Can I do this?
If so, do I ‘restore from backup’ that second phone? Or do click sync?
Thanks!
