Hi folks, not sure if ‘clean setup’ is the right expression, but anyway… I’ve been sporting an iPhone X for 6 years and tomorrow I get my new iPhone 15 Pro. I was thinking of setting it up clean in the sense of manually adding my apps, email data etc, and not doing a simple transfer from the old iPhone.
Maybe it doesn’t make sense to do it, maybe it does. I thought it could make sure there isn’t any residual crap from the old phone, but to be honest I don’t have any data to 100% assert that. Have any of you started with a phone replacement this way, or do you consider it pointless? If you have done it, any tips?
All opinions welcome, thanks!
The answers here are making me wonder if I should do the same - what are the downsides? Having to look up every single username and password for example?
Username and passwords should be stored with your Apple ID, right? At least I think so.
It will be stored on iCloud. You need to make sure iCloud setting is turned on.
