easiest way to "clone" my iphone 4 on to my new iphone 4s ?

SGWills · 25 Feb 2012 at 23:15

so i have made the massive jump from ip4 to ip4s

whats the best way of transferring everything from one to the other ? I cant be bothered to install all the apps, set up the email,copy pics and vids over etc.

Is it a simple case of backing it up on itunes then using the backup to copy the stuff across ? or am i missing out on something ?

Thanks

backup using itunes with ip4, plug in ip4s and restore

when you connect the new phone it should ask you if you want to restore anyway

sounds straight forward to me

thanks

Backup over icloud then restore by simply logging in on new phone and it should all look the same? Thats all I did when I got a replacement 4s.

That doesn't do the apps tho does it?

You can just resync the apps to your 4S, the game data should be tied to your iCloud/Game Centre account

I would just stick to backup via iTunes, it would be quicker and complete. I don't mind iCloud it's just having to upload everything then download it again doesn't make sense when I can do it all locally via USB.
