For information on restoring to a phone that is already set up, see the following from: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


  1. Turn on your device. You should see a Hello screen. If you already set up your device, you need to erase all of its content before you can use these steps to restore from your backup.
