I just got a iPhone 6 plus and I restored from my iPhone 5 backup. I have heard some people like to set up there device as new rather than restore from backup. What are the pros and cons of setting up as new versus restoring from backup?
In my experience setting up from a backup gets me up and running right away with all my apps in their respective folders and my settings as they were.
But I've experienced some issues from a backup when I went 5S to 6 Plus. Just some erratic behavior and Touch ID being hit or miss. A restore as new solved any issues I was having.
It can be a drag to set up all your stuff again from a restore as new but it's worth it. When I restore from a backup I expect some quirks and stuff but I usually deal with until I feel like doing a restore as new. It's not a given that you will have issues with a backup that's just my experience.
