Hi,
When I got my 5S at the AT&T store, one of their customer reps transferred
my contacts from my old phone to the new one. I didn't think about
restoring from my last iCloud backup and should have because it would have
saved me a considerable amount of work. I ended up downloading many of my
apps on a piecemeal basis, which was okay because it allowed me to take
stock of all the 184 apps that I'd purchased since I bought my iPhone 4 and
install only the ones that were essential for me and reorganize them the way
I wanted to. On my next pass through the app store I'll pick up the games
and other odds and ends that I don't use on a daily basis.

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.
Regards,
Sieghard

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.

Subject: Questions About Getting The 5S...
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
