Questions about Facebook backup functionality

in MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues
I have my account linked to Facebook, and it works fine for me (most of the time).
My son has seen how much I enjoy the game and has started playing on my old iPhone. He's not old enough to have a Facebook account yet. If I upgrade him to a new iPhone, how can he take his account with him? 
Can I unlink my account from Facebook, and link his long enough to migrate the new phone? Will this cause me more problems than it is worth? 
I know I can create a dummy account on Facebook, but would rather not open that can of worms just yet.

    I believe you can also backup via Google account if that's an option.

    Since even before all the FB news came out, I dropped FB and am hoping that d3/demi find better ways to do their social integrations. We'll see what shakes out.

    Good luck sorting it out.

    No google backup on iPhone.

    **I'm going to move this over to Technical Issues so @Tombstone can add some insight if possible.**

    Is it not possible to just copy the MPQ files off the old iPhone and onto the new one?

    That's relatively straightforward on an Android phone if you don't go the facebook/google route.
