App creators are given an API and ways not to break support for your device; it’s on them to do device testing of all their app’s corner cases. This doesnt seem unreasonable to me. What else should apple do?

I guess I don’t understand this point. This is exactly what ios mdm backup is for. Relying on users backing up their personal icloud accounts for work seems highly problematic. If they are work icloud accounts... usb should not be a problem since you are probably provisioning the devices, and the itunes backup approach over your intranet seems actually ideal.

Honest question here about the risk of being “unique”...:

If my unique identifier changes with each browser version + os version + timezone + build id + fontpack + screen size... am I really trackable through this vector? Those things change all the time for me at least. Seems like a very short term method of tracking at best. Why should we be afraid of these things? I had the same question about panopticlick (or whatever EFF called it).

You can set local auto backup over wifi in itunes right?
