With app slicing in iOS 9, you can’t transfer apps from your phone to iTunes any more. You can only go one way: from iTunes to phone (iTunes thins the apps on transfer). You’ll waste bandwidth using iTunes if you only have one device. You can use OS X Server to cache content if you have multiple devices, and save more bandwidth than you could with iTunes, albeit at the expense of having to set up a server.
Even though it’s a nuisance doing your re-installations, I suggest you begin managing your hidden purchases list in iTunes. Open the Purchased page, go to Apps, and press the Hide button for every app you don’t want. Now, the only apps that appear in the iOS App Store app are those you want, which you can download and delete at your leisure. You loose the ability to reinstall apps Apple have dropped from the store, but in all my time there has only ever been one such app, and it was buggy. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
