Installing your iPhone in a perfect manner
- Upgrading from old to New:In case you are upgrading just your iPhone version then first of all you need to back up your old iPhone by transferring all the apps data and setting to the new smart phone that you purchased. This back up can be easily made via iTunes or iCloud.
