I got mine from 11street (imported). But when I try to use my SIM card from my current iphone 4 for the iPhone SE, the SIM card doesn't fit in. The iPhone SE size seems smaller. How come? Do I need to change it with telco? My telco is maxis.

Will maxis charge for the new nano SIM card? So you think they can allow me to keep both SIM cards so that whenever I want to switch back, I still hv the SIM card?

Thank you for sharing with me the info on the adaptor. It allows us to fit the nano sim card into the bigger one (micro) and still allow me to use my iphone 4. But the reverse cannot be done, as in, there is no adaptor for fitting bigger sim card into smaller one, right?

In that case, I will go exchange my micro for the nano, but buy an adaptor if I need to ever use the iphone 4 again.

I think I know what you mean, i.e. I can cut it out myself. But I don't think my current one can do that.

I went to one maxis reseller shop and was told they will charge RM10 for the replacement nano SIM card. I just want to check with you guys whether this is correct?

ok, now I got my nano sim card. Now I wonder how to transfer my data and apps into my SE.

1. Are my phone contacts, whatapps data, games data, apps data, etc all inside my previous SIM? or is it inside my previous iphone 4?

2. Do I need to re-download every apps and games again in my iphone SE? It would be terrible having to key in one by one all of my phone contacts again and apps data again. Nightmare!

3. If it is inside my previous Sim, how do I transfer those data into my new Sim card?

Please advise.

I understand that iClouds only backup a few key data, am I right? Whereas iTunes backup everything and I don't have to re-download a single Apps again (with all the Apps data intact) on my new phone?

Now the question is, do I need to activate my new Sim card before or after I restore the iTunes backup on my new phone?

Why cannot restore using iTunes? Please refer my previous post question. I was asking about backup and how to transfer all apps and data into the new phone, and someone said to use iTunes. Now you say iTunes does not work?

Thanks for your reply. I called the Apple toll free no. and was informed that I needed to download whatever Apps first into my new phone..so that whatever Apps or games I have in old unit, I also hv it in the new phone. Then after that, only synchronize from the iTunes restore backup ( which contains the data from old phone). She said this should work. The problem with this approach is I am not sure if all my previously purchased Apps inside my current Apps Store - how do I know of all of them will be transferred to the new phone? This is critical because of my Apps are no longer available to be downloaded or no longer free.

Thanks, I have done just that. Took me long time to update my iTunes version first.I noted every data still there except for my WhatApps. My previous WhatApps data archived all not there anymore. How to retrieve from
iTunes? How come it didnot restore for WhatApps?
Is there a way to select only WhatsApps to be sync back into my new phone again?

Update at 11.14pm
I tried to restore again using my backup in iTunes. After updating, I find that my WhatApps messages are still not there. All gone. But other Apps, the data are still inside.

But I need to check with you guys whether the new Apps that come with iphone SE, will it disappear after I restored the old set of data and Apps?

I use "Archive", but I cannot see any button to "unarchive" it back.

Chat Backup is using iCloud, am I right? I am not using icloud to backup but using iTunes. How come iTunes failed to backup my WhatApp messages.

This is what I did not know. I was informed everything will be back-up using iTunes. I did not use iClouds. Now all my WhatApps messages all gone.

I used the first method and found every message in WhatApps gone. And I don't see any "main chat timeline" for me to drag it down and see the "archived chats tab at the top". Where is it?

I read the instructions for restoring data from iClouds. It seems you have to erase all data and settings first. Can I restore iClouds for only WhatApss data and don't have to erase all the other data in other Apps, contacts, SMS messages, etc? Erase WhatApps and download again the Apps, then restore...can it work?

The method you showed is just the unarchiving method. On my new phone, there is nothing to unarchiving because the existing messages were in the old phone.

By the way, there is the RM15 vs RM49 tempered glass for iPhone SE. Is the cheaper one good enough? Will it affect sensitivity especially with the TouchID fingerprint function?

That method you mentioned back-up to iCloud. The problem is how to retrieve the data back once I hv back up. I read that in order to retrieve from iCloud, first I hv to delete all existing data. This is crazy because iCloud does not restore all data completely. Also it does not restore all of my Apps in the phone before I delete them. So, how?
