Trying to restore from iCloud shows wrong backup data
I'm upgrading from an iphone 4s to a 5s. I just backed up manually on my 4s. At setup on the 5s, I sign in to my iCloud account to restore from a backup. On the 5s it does not show any backup data from my 4s. It's showing old backups from my old iPhone 4, nothing current from the 4s. I logged into iCloud on my computer using the same username password and it shows my current iPhone 4s there and says my most current backup is the one I made a few minutes ago. Why can't I see the 4s backups on my 5s as I try to restore to the new phone?
