   Maybe you don't understand that who happened to set up your iPhone is   
   wholly irrelevant to the discussion of whether you can transfer   
   everything over to a new iPhone.  The FACT (Arlen loves that word) is   
   that you can indeed transfer the exact location of every folder and   
   every app to a new iPhone from an old   
   iPhone.
