> Most people arent plugging their phone into a computer, even weekly. The phones have synced wirelessly for quite a long while now. And with wireless charging on the newer models, doing so is just so damn easy. > Its very dumb that once I switch to local, that I lose iCloud. Can’t you still rely on iCloud for saving and backing up app data, while retaining the full local sync and backup in iTunes? I don’t recall iCloud being disabled when locally syncing, and am pretty sure apps still save data to iCloud on my devices. > Why cant iTunes use iCloud as part of its version history?? Is that really necessary when iTunes can already sync and backup the whole device as it is when you activate the sync/backup process?

Wireless but still needs power, no? And my computer has to be on? The rest of my complaint is mostly about how complicated a restore becomes if I was using local backup, and then arent home for a while, and need to remerge local and cloud backups. Last I remember, the interface makes you choose one or the other to restore, and then your version history gets all mucked up, as the one you choose becomes the new golden branch.
