So I want to wipe out my iPhone and set it up as new. But I don't want to lose all my settings/screen setup. Is there a way to do this?

No, there is not.

If you set up as "new" it will be just that. But the minute that you restore from a backup, to get your settings and screen back to the way it is now, you're not setting up as new again.

The only real way to set up as new and have it the way it is now is to re-add/re-organize it all back that way after setting it up as new.

Can't have the cake and eat it too :)

I'll just make screen caps of everything this time, much easier then the past then, lol
