How to setup a new iPhone from an iTunes backup?
There are two ways to do this. The first is the easiest and it relies on you performing an iCloud backup on the old device and then restoring it on the new. The second method involves doing a backup in iTunes on the old device, and restoring on the new. The steps for both methods are in the source link below.
We previously wrote a guide on how to setup a new iPhone from an iCloud backup, but that is limited by the fact that Apple only gives you 5 GB of free storage. If you have more than 5 GB of music, apps and other data, and you do not wish to pay for additional iCloud storage, you will have to resort to an iTunes backup. Read ahead for step-by-step instructions on how to setup a new iPhone from an iTunes backup.
