Yes, I have seen this go wrong and cause the apex to never be picked up by the phone at all. The consequences were not diar, but they did involve a reset that caused the user to have to re-install license files. Besides, this goes against the instructions that everyone seems to use, and even against the instructions on the hw site. Yes, I am also annoyed at the less-than-elegant way iOS detects an apex, but it is a minor inconvenience compared to what you can do once the two devices are linked. I have always wanted to rename a device "apex000123", even if it isn't an apex, and see what happens...
