iPhone 7 for the Wife

[Err]

I upgraded the Wife's 5S to the 7 today. I ordered directly from Apple because I didn't want to deal with AT&T directly or the local store. The last time I was in they couldn't tell me what a phone cost. I asked about the iPhone 6S at the time and they said it would be so much for month. I supposed they're not used to selling a phone outright in my area.

I subscribed the Wife to the iCloud backup service ages ago. It ~$1.00 per month for 50GB. I highly recommend doing this as it made setting up the new phone a snap. After turning on the phone, I had to enter the account information and then install the most recent iOS update. Then it asked me if I wanted to restore a backup. I selected the one for her 5S, entered the passkey and ~60 minutes later, the backup was completed and the apps were restored. The phone settings, icons, etc are identical to the previous phone.

I don't like Apple products but I have to give them props for the ease of this setup. However, if I didn't have the iCloud service, I'd have to deal with iTunes. I also don't blame anyone for getting an iPhone if they aren't tech savvy. The iPhone is easy to use and just works.

Yeah my wife will only use Apple, even though her laptop is an HP running windows 7. I personally don't like Apple due to costs and control.

Not a fan of Apple either. Wife doesn't care for them much either.
I've got the Goodle Pixel and she's got Google's Nexus 5x.
