Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
my husband and I traded iphones. I get his 5s and he gets my 4s. We took them to the Sprint store and they swapped our contacts and numbers. Now, how do I get my apps off of my old 4s that now is in his phone number and vice versa?

Hey OU.soonersfan,
Thanks for the question. There are a few methods you can use to accomplish your goal. First off, you can backup each other’s iPhones and restore the backup with the new devices (however this may pose a problem, since you have already transferred the contacts):
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

You can also simply download your applications again from the app store, if the above is not an applicable solution:

Thanks, I had already fixed it by your second method. We signed out of the apps store on each phone. Then we signed back in to iTunes on our new phone and went to "Past Purchases" and downloaded the apps we wanted. Took only a few minutes!
Hey OU.soonersfan,
Thanks for the follow up! I’m glad to hear that your issue is resolved. Have a great day!

how do we transfer my apps to his phone and his apps to mine? We already got our data and contacts switched at the Sprint store.
