I'm still somewhat confused about what apps are restored to a device
following an encrypted backup restore. I know this changed with iOS 9 and I
just read in Jonathan Mosen's iOS 10 Without the Eye new book that apps
aren't restored from an iTunes encrypted backup.

 

So let's say I decide at some point to buy a new iPhone 7. I'll backup my
iPhone 6 to an encrypted iTunes backup from which I'll restore to my new
iPhone 7. What version of the apps will be restored to my new iPhone if I
were running other than the latest version on my iPhone 6? I've made sure I
have backed up copies of these versions to my computer using iTunes. It
sounds from Jonathan's book as if only the latest version of my apps will be
restored from Apple's servers. Is that right? What about apps that I
happened to be running on my iPhone 6 that are no longer available in the
Apps Store? Will I have to go through some extra hoops placing backup copies
of these older versions in my Automatically Add to iTunes folder in order to
get them on my new iPhone?

 

Thanks for any help clarifying what apps are restored following an iOS 9 and
later iTunes restore.
