Setting up a new phone after losing and old phone
I recently lost my phone, aka, it was dropped in a lake and lost forever. I have since bought a new phone, but I want to make sure I set it up the right way. How can I set up my new iPhone without my old iphone? I do not have a recovery key. My phone was backed up to iTunes on my laptop, but I am not sure how to access that backup/put that backed up information onto my new phone. I think my phone should be backed up via my Apple ID or iCloud storage, but I am not sure how that works. Basically, I need help setting up my new phone/putting all my old information on the new phone, and I do not have my old phone to verify logins/receive verification codes. I do have an iPad set up under the same Apple ID if that helps.
