So the only way is to restore the phone and restore my iCloud backup during setup, THEN sync my apps? Wow, that sucks. Is there any workaround (e.g. using 3rd party software like iExplorer)?

I got my iPhone 5 this morning :D I've set up as a new iPhone (for a clean start), and I've synced my apps from my Library to my iPhone. However I want to transfer my messages and photos to my new phone, so on my old phone, I backed up with iCloud (and chose to ONLY back up photos among the...

Thanks, I think this is what I'm looking for. If it works (from what I read), my messages (in addition to other standard non-optional stuff like device settings, home screen and app organization, etc.) will get backed up, and I can opt to backup my WhatsApp app data as well. I'll then set up my...

"However I think the yellow tints makes text easier to read and my colors are far richer." If you think the yellow tint is a plus, even if it IS a permanent "defect", why would you want to swap it out? Just because you strive to achieve the socially-accepted standard of "perfection"? Even if it...

So it's not a regular backup (like syncing with iTunes), but a specific messages-only backup? So does this mean that iCloud backup will NOT include any jailbreak data, while iTunes sync backup will transfer some jailbreak data over?

If I am running a jailbroken iOS 5.1.1 and I sync with iTunes, I know jailbroken apps are NOT synced, but what about settings and configuration files of Cydia apps? I'm only asking because I want to start my iPhone 5 clean (that means I don't want to restore from a backup which potentially...

When I get my iPhone 5 I don't want to restore my backup in its entirety, because it's a backup of a jailbroken 5.1.1 and I don't want my jailbreak app data/configuration/settings to be restored (I know the app itself will not be restored, but I've heard that the data/configuration/settings...

Yeah, but I'm afraid I AM one of those who "has to have one asap" and can't wait to start using my brand-new iPhone 5! :/ I don't put movies on my phone, I watch them on my computer at home. But 1TB is really insane! :O

Hopefully. Although some high-quality driving games take up as much as, or even more than 1GB of storage :O Oh man. Haha.

What I have in mind is: Use the 16GB first for the time being (on my 3GS 16GB I actually have 4+GB free, but then on my 3GS I don't have a lot of games for obvious reasons :D), and if I find myself severely crippled by the lack of storage then I'll upgrade. In the first few weeks of launch...

As a gift, so I don't have a choice over capacity (or I'd have gone with the 32GB). Do you think the 16GB is sufficient (personally I doubt so)? My music library is 5.8GB, I don't store videos/photos on my phone (I have an iPad for the occasional TV show/movie), I use a fair amount of apps, I'm...
