I backup my iPhone X tonight via iTunes to PC, and will get iPhone xs max tomorrow.
I have question, should I use Restore backup or Restore iPhone in iTunes to the new iPhone, any idea guys?

Restore back-up. Restore iPhone is for situations when you’re having software issue.

so What's the difference between restore back up and restore iPhone? I heard restore new phone is always the way to go!

Restore back up is picking up where u left off on old device to your new device. You restore your saved data to the new phone.

Restore iPhone is basically resetting all configuration you have on iPhone and restore it back to like new out of the box settings.

Set it up as new.
I always do when it’s a major release.
Easy enough to put things back what you want.

Personally I download the latest IPSW to my Mac, put iPhone in DFU mode, then do an option/restore and point it at the IPSW.

If an app is no longer in the app store what's the best way to move that app to the new phone ?
