Hi Andy, No need to do that if you have done an iCloud or iTunes backup and if you restore from that backup. It won't actually backup the apps, but it will backup your homescreen layout and which apps you had on the phone and they will automatically download one by one.

Do an iCloud backup on your 4s before you pick up your new phone. When you get your new phone, you can restore from that backup. You can do likewise by backing up with iTunes on your PC. As far as apps are concerned, when you get your new phone, you can go into the App Store and redownload your purchased apps.

Hi Everyone: I ordered the Iphone5S last week and it has arived at the AT&T store. I am planning to pick it up tomorrow. I have had my Iphone 4S for about two years now so have tons of contacts, music, and apps on it. For those of you who upgraded from a previous Iphone (such as the 4, 4S, or 5) to the new Iphone 5S, how did you transfer your stuff from your previous phone to your new phone? If I just log into Icloud will everything automatically download such as my music, apps, and contacts? What about the "restore from backup" on Itunes? Does that work? What was your experience like transferring your stuff over and how did you do it? Thanks, Kerri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
