RE: A question about upgrading from the iPhone-4S to the iPhone-6+.
Liz, As someone else posted, I don't think the order really matters. I got a new iPhone 6 last week and had this same issue. I used iTunes to do an encrypted backup of my old iPhone which was an ATT phone to be able to restore it to my new Verizon phone. I powered on the new phone by connecting it to my computer with its cable and immediately pressed the triple click home button to turn VoiceOver on. At that point, I didn't do anything else with respect to activating the phone. I then ran iTunes and restored my encrypted backup and also upgraded to the latest iOS 8.1.3 since the phone came with 8.1.2. After doing this iTunes showed no phone number for my new phone so I had to then go through the rest of the activation steps with the phone and that worked fine. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go through all the new phone activation steps first because I think at some point it asks if you are setting up a new device or restoring from a backup at which point I would do the restore. But as I said, in the end, it didn't matter since my phone is working great and everything was restored. Good luck.

When in the process of upgrading from my 4S to the 6+, do I put my backup on the phone first before ATT activates, or does the phone need to be activated first before I put my backup from iTunes on the new phone?

Hi, I don't think it really matters which one you do first. On Feb 7, 2015, at 1:27 PM, Lizand Sammie elizabethulr...@sbcglobal.net wrote: In a few days, I will be getting an iPhone-6+.
