[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1704532, member: 46727"] I just now took a look at the Apple instructions for setting up an iPhone. My understanding is that setting up an iPhone as new means just that... no backup, set the device up as if this is new to you. Which means entering your language, location, and other options. The new setup will read which version of iOS is installed and if it is not up to date, will offer to download and install the latest update. Do you already have applications or contacts installed on the new iPhone? If you do, back the phone up to your iCloud account before proceeding with the setup - just in case. However, I don't believe the "setup as new" will erase anything on the phone but it pays to be cautious. [/QUOTE]
