Upgrade to iPhone 5s

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, I 'hope' to receive my new iPhone 5s soon. When it does arrive I shall want to move all my apps and data from my current iPhone 4. What the best way to get that done?

I have iCloud enabled, so I understand that emails, pictures etc will migrate that way, but it's the apps I'm not so sure about.

Guidance appreciated ! thanks Mart

iCloud should be fine but it always wise to make a Mac/PC backup too on a regular basis.

Just make a full backup of the old phone and then restore your new phone from the backup. Everything will sync across.

Yes, do as above.  All my apps have moved across and reinstate in the same place as you had them on your old phone.  Books, music and film didn't reappear but I wanted to start afresh with those anyway (I tend to use my iPod Touch and iPad for reading and viewing films.)

Ok, thanks both. I assume you mean a backup onto my Mac, not some iCloud backup ?
