Clean setup on a new iPhone
Clean setup on a new iPhone
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.
Great, thanks! Nice to see I wasn't the only one thinking of doing this.
I do exactly the same as you. I love a fresh DFU reset.
This is usually what I do as well.
you know you can set your iphone automatically uninstall apps you don’t use regularly, right?
Offloading them isn't the same. It's about the screen clutter, not the storage space, and offloading an app leaves the icon. Offloading does its job pretty seamlessly, but that's a negative when I want to feel like I've had a clean start.
