In September I'll be buying an iPhone. I want to get all of the apps that I have on my iPod onto my new iPhone and I want to have them in the same order and the same folders as they are on my iPod, and I don't want to manually add all of my apps.

Can this be accomplished by restoring it to a backup of my old 4th generation iPod Touch. Also, if I do that, will it think it's an iPod or will it still know that it's an iPhone, displaying "iPhone" in the corner instead of "iPod"?

Otherwise, will iCloud accomplish this?

I really want to have all of my apps in the same places and in the same folders on my iPhone as they are on my iPod Touch and I don't want to have to manually arrange them all.

Both an iCloud or iTunes backup will do exactly what you want. Just restore either to the new iPhone when setting it up and you're all set.
