[QUOTE="andylap, post: 1630677, member: 340499"] Hi Jim, Actually, you do not have to connect to iTunes to backup anymore, and for this situation, it makes things more complicated. You can back up both your iPhone 5 and your wife's iPhone 4 using iCloud Backup. Before you can do this, however, you will need to have iOS 6 or later in both iPhones. You can check by going to Settings > General > About, and checking the "Version" If both iPhones have iOS 6 or later, then you can backup by going to Settings > iCloud > Backup > Back Up Now. When you get a new phone, during setup it will ask you if you want to restore your phone from a backup. Choose Restore from iCloud Backup. And, I think that's it! Please let me know if I am incorrect in anything here :) [/QUOTE]
