Never update your phone without a full backup by usb.Why apple allows people to do this is insanity. Nobody should be updating firmware anyways unless there is a serious issue or an untethered jailbreak released on the new version.Apple hasn't done a meaningful update to a firmware in years that added a feature worth upgrading for.
I did do a full backup by USB and I still had this problem. When I went to do a restore from my backup, it didn't work. After I calmed down, I realized it was a partial restore, and was able to go thru the list of apps and iTunes still recognized which ones should have been on my phone, it just wouldn't install them. I then clicked on the apps I wanted to keep and double-clicked on those to get rid of. (or something like that.)The important thing is to make sure your photos are on the icloud function that allows them to be sent back to your computer when you take them, the same for your contacts and such. That way when things like this happen, replacing apps is all you have to do. NBD.

Apparently so they can sell more apple care subscriptions. Crooks.
Yes, it's Apple fault that you don't back up your data.
Yes, you are correct, but is it Apple's fault when you DO backup your data and the upgrade screws up?!?
