When setting up a new iphone, what is the difference between 'restoring through icloud' and 'setting up as new' and syncing with Icloud? I have done both on different occasions and the outcome appears to be the same, other than needing to download apps with the latter approach.
 
iCloud backup contains the iPhone settings and all of the app data.
