I've never actually started clean with a new iPhone preferring instead to restore from a back up I make just before transitioning to a new phone. If I understand correctly, some people say restoring from backup ends up pulling over some garbage from your old phone that may be sitting in unknown files. Not sure what that means, but I do sometimes see a large amount of storage consumed by odd categories (data and documents maybe?). I guess they may be there from the past 4 iphones I've had where I just restore from backup each year.
Seems like a major pain to go back through and figure out all the apps I want again if I start clean, then reposition them where I like them, then reconfigure log ins, email accounts, etc.
Which way are others going on this? Restore from backup or start with a clean slate?
For those going with a clean slate, can you help me understand what advantages you have seen going this route in the past to justify the time and effort involved - granted its not huge and there may be some advantage to pairing down some unnecessary apps, but I assume transferring photos over for instance and possibly messages would be complicated...
Thanks - 48 hours....can't wait.
