Quick question-

How many of you guys set up your new iphones as “NEW” vs restoring from icloud?

I heard it is always good to set up as new phones so that the rubbish settings don’t get transferred to your new phones?

But it is very troublesome to keep setting up as new phone ya?

Unless you don't need the backup from your previous phone, then of cos setting up as New is better.

I always set up as iPhones and iPads as new.

Not really troublesome for me; photos are always in my external storage and only few essentials apps to download again.

Setup as new, definitely! It's fresh, clean and snappy. Besides for me tweaking settings n building back fave apps takes no more than half hour on fibre connection.

If and when I can get a ip7+, I'd like to set it up as new. Can I just backup photos, sms, whatsapp on my old ip6+ using iTunes on my PC and then restore them onto a new ip7+ ?

I setup as new this time round on my 7. A chance for me to do housekeeping of the apps i really use. The data i lost are messages, health data and activity. The rest (whatsapp, pictures, line messages, telegram) all in cloud auto restore back to the phone. Uber and grab already have your data. Contacts calender all in cloud also.
