Sep 16, 2016 2:14 AM in response to malith1611by Markvu31121991,Hi malith1611, you can back up to icloud, then log in to icloud on your SE to sync but i need to remind you that you only have 5gb free of icloud memory, you might lost some data. i strong recommend you borrow a laptop or computer then back by itunes then restore from the last back on your SE to get your full of data.

Sep 16, 2016 2:37 AM in response to malith1611by Markvu31121991,does not matter if the owner have an iphone or not malith1611, just a computer or laptop then download the latest version of itunes then do the back up and restore from back up, then everything from your iphone 5 will transfer to iphone SE. In case because you back up your data, on other person laptop they can access your data by the same way, so you can go to C:\Users\name of computer\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup then delete your back up (if it is a window laptop/computer)

Sep 16, 2016 2:55 AM in response to malith1611by Markvu31121991,no problem everyone is new when they own the first apple device. nope u still can use this computer to back up your data. one itunes from a laptop can contain a lot of back up as much as u want but when you do restore from back up, remember your iphone name to select the correct back up or you will select the owner's back up.

Sep 16, 2016 2:55 AM in response to malith1611by Hackberger,To my knowledge iTunes manages backups per iPhone. This means you can backup and restore multiple phones using one specific account on a Mac or PC via its installation of iTunes.
Or, very short: yes, this will be possible.

Sep 16, 2016 3:47 AM in response to malith1611by Michael Black,This document should get you started - About backups for iOS devices - Apple Support Please pay particular attention to what is NOT included in your backup as you will need to take additional steps to avoid losing those items.
BTW the free 5GB iCloud storage is more than sufficient to back up a single iPhone. I currently backup two 128GB iPads and a 64GB iPhone in that space without issue. If you read what actually is included in a backup and what is not you'll realize why that is possible. For example, your apps themelves are not backed up - pointless to do so as you can just redownload and reinstall them from the App Store at any time.
This document - Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support will guide you in transferring content from old to new iPhone.
