| [iPhone] Bought wife the 5, restore from the cloud The 5 arrived for my wife today and before I tinker I wanted to check with you all. I use my PC to backup my phone to iTunes, I set hers to use iCloud. So when I activate the new phone and restore from the cloud will that restore just settings, email etc or apps and music? Never used iCloud before. |

kudos:1 | If she backed up to the cloud...it's a few buttons to press and she's good to go, everything should show up |

kudos:4 | Thanks, I backed it up to the cloud this AM. Now for speed to restore, iTunes via USB or wireless N, which do you think would be faster? |

2 edits | iTunes via USB is faster, if you have a lot of apps (especially large apps)... Because IIRC, restoring from iCloud will require you to wait for the device to redownload each and every one of your apps. |

kudos:1 | I don't think so...I restored and I thought everything showed up...it took a while, but if I'm not mistaken it did the apps, too |

kudos:6 | The Apps redownload from the iTunes store separately from the iCloud restore process. I think that's what Defcon888 was saying - with iTunes, the apps would be restored locally instead of redownloaded.
