These dingbat trolls don't know the difference between transferring
your data from the old phone (or a backup of it) to the new one and
setting up the phone as new and signing into iCloud. The former
results in the EXACT location of every folder and every app (and
every widget & shortcut too) being transferred to the new device.
The latter naturally does not.

Heh heh heh... Now that we've established how the dumb-terminal
brain-dead iOS does it, how do you think Android re-installs apps,
Jolly Roger, with all the app icons, widgets, homescreen folders &
even the data itself in EXACTLY the same locations on the new phone
as they were on the old phone.

You can do exactly that with an iOS device.
