This means you're starting completely from scratch. • Restore from iCloud Backup - If you haven't had an iOS device before this doesn't apply to you. However, if you've used iCloud to backup your data, apps, and other content from other devices, choose this to download the data from your iCloud account to your iPhone. • Restore from iTunes Backup - Again, this won't work if you haven't had an iPhone, iPod, or iPad before. If you have you can install your apps, music, settings, and other data on your new iPhone from the backups that already exist on your PC.
