You could use iCloud to copy your DB between devices. There are three ways you could do this.
Implement all the file presenter coordination code by hand. This would be difficult, but your existing read/write code would stay the same.
Wrap your DB in a UIDocument. This would be much easier, but your existing code to save and load your sqlite file would need to change. Conflicts would be resolved at a per-database level.
Port your DB code to use Core Data and use a UIManagedDocument. Your entire codebase would change, but conflicts would be resolved at a much lower level.
I heartily recommend Ray Wenderlich’s tutorial series on iCloud, Beginning iCloud and iCloud and UIDocument: Beyond the basics
