It’s new iPhone delivery day!

Are you a set-up-as-new phone type, or a transfer-data-from-old-phone type?

@maique There’s something about the continuity of having things mostly set up the same way on a new phone that’s really nice.

I’m still undecided. 🤔

@AngeloStavrow tranfer data from old iPhone because of I want all configured passwords to transfer.

@AngeloStavrow I used to do iCloud restore but the data never comes back in full… some things need to be reconfigured and I find this annoying.

@AngeloStavrow Credit cards won’t transfer.

@DaveyCraney Yeah, I’m kinda thinking that the clean-slate approach might be a nice option. Enough has changed that it’d be nice to explore everything in Settings and the native apps.

@numericcitizen Hmm, I haven’t had a problem with that, even for devices set up as new. Maybe just have to call the bank to activate them for Apple Pay, I think?

@AngeloStavrow no, I thought it was by design

@AngeloStavrow I like to start from new to get rid of cruft and try new setups

@AngeloStavrow I set up my iPhone as new/manually sometime back, and I realized that the auto-suggestions weren’t as good as before. Perhaps those had been saved on the device and would have been transferred to a new device.

@pratik Interesting! I’ve never really found the auto-suggest stuff useful but I’m probably an atypical user with my routines, so I haven’t really noticed a change there.
