Hi folks, not sure if ‘clean setup’ is the right expression, but anyway… I’ve been sporting an iPhone X for 6 years and tomorrow I get my new iPhone 15 Pro. I was thinking of setting it up clean in the sense of manually adding my apps, email data etc, and not doing a simple transfer from the old iPhone.
Maybe it doesn’t make sense to do it, maybe it does. I thought it could make sure there isn’t any residual crap from the old phone, but to be honest I don’t have any data to 100% assert that. Have any of you started with a phone replacement this way, or do you consider it pointless? If you have done it, any tips?
All opinions welcome, thanks!
Yeah I do that. There’s no like, lag difference, the crap I get rid of is apps I don’t use and have forgotten about.
I don’t install any app until I need it, with this restart. That way any app that gets on my new phone is there for a reason.
Once in a while I do this to my current phone, too. Works great, I’ve done it like a dozen times.
I do exactly the same as you. I love a fresh DFU reset.
This is usually what I do as well.
Great, thanks! Nice to see I wasn’t the only one thinking of doing this.
