Setting up new iPhone SE

[LiveM]

That sounds right. You also cannot restore messages from different types of devices, such as iPads.

I'm probably on my own on this, but I personally prefer to start from scratch with new phones.

It gives me a chance to revisit settings I've long stopped thinking about, clear out apps that have been collecting dust and just get a fresh feeling and start on a new device.

Maybe it's all nonsense and placebo, but I highly enjoy the process actually. It's part of the "new phone" experience for me every time.

What about all the old text messages, voicemails, etc.? Do they show up if not restoring from iTunes/iCloud?

 

[LiveM]

Nope.

I don't keep old texts and haven't gotten a voicemail I need to keep in about 6 years.
Just not 2 things that apply to me personally.

Nopes. Even with encrypted backup, health data is not restored.

Oh but it is.

Or rather, it SHOULD.

Yeah it should, but I've seen its not. Someone else has reported here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7358786?start=0&tstart=0

I have a 2007 battery question for ya'll. Once I get the phone, what is the recommended thing to do with the phone? Let it go to 1% or change it fully right away ? Thank you, have a good day.

It will be almost fully charged. Just top it up or start using it.
