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!
With a lot of apps you really can’t do this, as far as I know. The app data isn’t something the user can simply copy and move.
With computers I always do things manually, but my phones have been getting migrated automatically since 2008. I don’t see any other way, unless you’re willing to lose data.
