I’ve been struggling with an issue since iOS4 came out – as a user of a first generation iPhone, there will soon be updates to my apps that work with iOS4 only. What happens if my iPhone needs a restore, and iTunes has updated my apps to the latest version? I won’t be able to sync across apps I have paid for as iTunes will not allow you to download previous versions of an app.

I wrote a post on slashdot which doesn’t appear to be gaining much traction.

Since I wrote it, I also came across something which says that if you have an app installed on your iPhone, and download an iOS4 update, next time you sync the phone it will actually *uninstall* the old version from your phone! That’s not very nice Apple!

I’m awaiting a response from Apple support, but not hopeful of getting one.
