Q: Creating a new Apple ID and transferring of data and settings to a new iPhone
If I share an Apple ID with someone else, what are the ramifications of creating and using a new Apple ID and will I lose any iPhone settings or data if I use the new Apple ID I have created?
I also want to move all my data and settings from my current iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 but not entirely sure how to do this as I share my Apple ID with my father and want all my data and settings correctly transferred to the new phone. Please help.
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2, null

If you create a new Apple ID
1. You will have to re purchase any apps you have with the old ones
2. You may be able to still use some apps and music by using Family sharing
iCloud Family Sharing - Apple Support
3. You will be able to stop inadvertent message sharing if you use the Apple ID to send/receive
4. Transferring data and content to a new phone is most easily accomplished by backing up to iTunes on a computer and restoring that on to the new phone during set up
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
