Q: Backing up iPhone for apps/data
Hi there,
Can anyone assist me?! I am taking my phone into the store shortly to the geniuses, as my charger socket is not working. You have to hold the charger in and to the right to charge it. In anticipation, they may replace my iPhone but I want to make sure my backup will restore my apps and their data (lots of app info and game saves) I do not use the cloud but have backed up my phone to a computer.. but I cant see any of the apps on the PC so how will this work when it comes to restoring the new phone?
Am I missing something? I'm worried I will restore the new phone to have no apps or data and no photos! I have followed the instructions on the apple site and it seems to have backup up successfully but what will happen with a new phone?
Do the apps restore to the phone but then download off of WiFi or do they download from the PC via the lightning cable?
I am confused
thanks
Dan
