restoring from older iPhone to iPhone 5s

[Bacong]

so I bought an unlocked 5s today, and restored from a backup of my old 5c. Is this something I should have done, considering the switch from 32 to 64 bit? My 5c was getting great battery life.

I guess I could restore and start as new but that's such a hassle 😛 Anyone else do this?

I've never restored from backup, it always causes some problem, I just sync my data.

No, pretty sure that is the only thing that doesn't sync.

I restored my backup from my 5 to my 5s. All is well.

and thats one of things you cant get any other way onto the phone which means for pack rats like me a restore from backup is the only way.

I have restored from backup since iPhone 4 to 5 then to 5s. There is no noticeable issue(s). Isn't that the point of iCloud backups?
