If your tag line is correct, your 5s is running an older version of iOS than your 4s. which means it cannot be restored from a backup made on the 4s, until it is updated.


Setup the 5s without a backup, and proceed to update its iOS version to 9.2. Then Restore the iPhone, and you should be able to select the backup made on the 4s.


If restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup requires a newer version of iOS - Apple Support
