New Iphone 6
36 Answers
I will be getting my new iPhone 6 delivered by courier sometime tomorrow.
At present, I have an iPhone 4. This new 6 is an upgrade from O2, and I am retaining my 4.
I have a lot of stuff stored under the "notes" section, plus loads of contacts, telephone numbers, and email addresses. I also have a few apps. like Dictionaries, etc, that I don't want to lose.
I know the 2 phones use a different SIM, so I can't just take the SIM out of my 4 and pop it in my new 6.
So is there a way that I can swap all the above onto my new 6, without using iTunes ?
The reason that I am asking is that find itunes a very un-friendly thing to use. I spent ages a couple of years ago, loading lots of classical music on to the 4, and then it all ruddy disappeared, when I synced on itunes !

ANYTHING is better than ruddy itunes ! How apple can design the perfect mobile phone ( in my humble opinion ! ) but leave us with the truly ghastly itunes is beyond me !

For all my music on iTunes I joined iTunes Match for £21 PA and I can update my phones seamlessly.

CrapAtCryptics...to be honest, no I don't, mainly because of my fear of itunes.
But if this new icloud-thingy works, I might do it more often. I asked it to back up to icloud about 5mins ago, and it is merrily chugging along, although it says that it will take about an hour. ( I am thinking that it will take less time of the future, as this is my first time )
By the way, O2 is having a great sale at the moment. I have got a new iPhone 6, 700 mins, plus unlimited texts, plus 500gb, for only £28:50 a month, which is only about £6 more than I am paying now !
I don't want to advertise here on AB but that seems like a very good deal to me ( the new iPhone 6 is 4g as well ! )
