So basicAlly i can use the same apple id, but i would have to reinstall them?
Yes.
Just follow the directions in that support article.
Thank you so much. Also, if i didnt use a back up, and went to app store and logged in from my old apple id, i would hve to reinstall them or they would just import?
No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup. So, regardless of whether you restore your new phone from backup or set it up as a new device, you will either have to re-download your content to your new phone or sync it from your iTunes library. Much quicker if you first have all of your content in your iTunes library, on your computer. Then you just sync it to your new phone.
Thank you!!!!! This was so helpful!!!!!!
So also, if i didnt use the backup but i used the same apple i.d., would just have to reinstall them? Even though i use my old apple id?
