Hi, I have a Windows PC with Window-Eyes and iTunes. I did the
installation, activation, and registration of my 5s last week with no
problems. First I did a general clean up and back up of my 4s. I had to
remove several apps from the 4s and do a general clean up because it's a
64 gb capacity and I was using 40gb of it. However my iPhone 5s is 32 gb
and so all my 4s data would not have fit. But that's neither here nor
there <smile>. So, once you have the 4s looking like the way you want
your 5s in my case, just do a full backup on iTunes, then power off your
4s. No need to remove sim cards or anything. My iPhone 5s came shipped
direct from China, order was placed through the Apple Store app, and I
suspect this is why. Sim card was already in there. I connected it to
the PC and iTunes saw that it was a new phone. I was taken to a
registration screen to confirm the cell number, and I had to put in my
billing zip code and last 4 digits of ssn. I had to agree to a new
2-year term with AT&T. Then it was activated. I then was asked if I
wanted to set it up as a new phone or restore from a backup. I chose to
restore from a backup. it took a while, but eventually the same home
screen layout, and apps and data were on the 5s with zero issues. The
process was very smooth and painless. It even set up the triple home
click to Voice Over, but that would have worked even if I hadn't used a
backup to restore from and just started fresh.
So, you should be good to go.

Hi all,
I'm excited to announce my iPhone 5s should be arriving today. This is my
first 4g/lte device.
Does the sym card come already installed?
Was the set up process fairly straight forward?
I read the directions found here:
http://businessportals.verizonwireless.com/support/how_to_use/iphone-5-upgrade.html
and they look pretty easy.
Any tips to go along with those instructions?
:) This isn't my first set up, but like I said, my first 4g/lte device.
Fingers crossed, I'm mighty excited! Off to back up my device and back up my
Mac for good measure. ;)
