Can you blame them? Once you get burned by something like this, you no longer trust updates at all anymore.

Are things like badges included in the backup? This is the reason my gf doesn’t want to update ever.

My mom has a cellular series 3, so she would have no problems updating. (Those have 16GB storage instead of 8.)

The only problem is that she never updates her devices, no matter how easy it is.
