Do i need to have itune to setup my new iphone?

Not really, iTunes is useful but not a must have, but depends on what you want to do with it. You could still use your iPhone without using iTunes just fine, what you might need is an internet connection to set up your iphone. ITunes is helpful for transferring music, videos or other multimedia data. It is a faster way to transfer stuff from your computer easily. ITunes is a must have if you want to allow other programs to have access to your iPhone. If for instance you ruin or mess up with your iPhone software, ITunes is needed to install your software ios, into your device. That is the only way to recover a bricked iPhone. If you need to update your software via computer or even if you want to jailbreak your iPhone, ITunes is a must.

No you just need Wi-Fi.
