I generally start from new on a new phone

Same here. Start fresh, pick the apps I want, pick some playlists and my pictures and give it a while... At least now we can do this over WiFi and don't have to wait to play with it. :)

I just died hahahaha.
 
I will just let the Cloud backup do it's restore and get on with my day!

Do any of you work or what?
 
I've previously always restored but I might start afresh this time. If I do this, can I restore my contacts easily enough? That's the only thing I'm fussed about, all my pics are backed up obviously.

Love the work you put into this onepremiere :D
 
I'll be jumping in the car and driving to my carrier to pick up a nano sim so I can actually use it! (They don't ship sims with the phones in Canada).

I'll also be setting it up from a backup. No sense in loosing all my settings, messages, etc.
 
This may be a dumb question, but if you set it up as new, don't you lose progress on any games that don't save your progress to iCloud? What else gets lost in terms of app data when you set up as new?
