I've just ordered an iPhone 15 and am considering letting the store set it up for me. My concern is about privacy: will they have access to my photos and personal information during the installation? Do they go through my stuff, or do they just set everything up and let me check if it's working afterward? I'm probably overthinking it, but I'd appreciate any insights!

During the transfer, all your photos don't move immediately; it just sets up the link to your iCloud account for later downloads. When we help with transfers, we usually focus on your iCloud and backing up apps. We have no real interest in browsing through your personal data. If you’re worried about privacy, consider doing the transfer yourself at home. Just turn both phones on, and they’ll connect automatically—super easy!

Sounds pretty simple! I think I'll try that myself. Thanks for the reassurance!
