> iOS devices do full backups to iCloud Right but that functionality dates back quite a few years now, back from iTunes and before cloud computing. I'm not sure they'd build that functionality today.

They could back up the metadata of what apps you have installed and where you've put them on your home screen. I'm not sure it's worth doing much else?
