I lost my (luckily) insured iPhone 5 a couple of weeks ago and bought another yesterday with the money back from insurance.
Photo stream was turned off and I backed up to iCloud but thought I had lost all my pictures.
I fired it up yesterday, restored from iCloud and everything is back to how it was before I lost it! The only thing I lost were photos from the night out when I lost it. I had documents and data on but 'Use Mobile Data' turned off so the ones taken on the night were lost.
I went into the Apple store in Meadowhell yesterday and thinking it would be bedlam prepared myself. - It was but they were that organized I had a new phone which was restoring in the shop within a couple of minutes. I was in there all of 5 minutes and left with a phone that had all my numbers, calendars and everything else on the way
Also picked up a clear 'Adopted lens case' which is nice and minimal, but has a good feel to it

Anyway, short story is - iPhones are so easy to use if you have a problem like this. I was able to use my old Sony W810i which is still an OK phone, but had to manually enter numbers saved on iCloud, no email, no internet etc
