If you have a backup of the phone, you can use the backup to restore the data on the phone during the new setup. Otherwise, the phone will look like it did when you first purchased it.


If this all sounds a bit too intimidating, make an appointment to visit the Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Servicer.
