[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1704581, member: 61193"] It seems that what Apple call a Backup is nothing of the sort. The latest iTunes doesn't transfer Apps when backing up a device, so there is nothing to restore to another one. They call it 'App Thinning' I call it fraud :( Therefore I have no choice but to redownload every App from the Store. Wish I had known that before I paid £700 for a new iPhone. Oddly enough, the iPad a few months ago did restore everything. Apparently this latest scam is a new idea from Apple. Not impressed. Let's hope the iPhone is awesome once I get it installed. It is likely to be the last one I buy from Apple. [/QUOTE]
