Hi Raul and All,
I have no idea why it only occurs to me to do a google search
after I've asked my question. But, in answer to the question I
posed yesterday as to why some of my apps needed to be updated
again after doing the iCloud backup, perhaps I found the answer
in some Apple support documents, and looks like you were on the
right track with that history idea. I'll quote a few lines of
text from two articles, first the link and quoted text from one
article, and then the same from the next:
https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521
After using an iCloud backup to restore or set up a device:
. Your settings and accounts are restored from the iCloud backup
you chose. Your device restarts and begins downloading your
purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and
other content. If your device can't download the version of an
app that was backed up, it downloads the latest version.
Your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the
iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store based on iTunes in the
Cloud availability by country. Previous purchases may be
unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available
in the store.
And, taken from:
support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Here's what iCloud backs up:
. Purchased history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Your iCloud backup includes information about the content you
have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you
restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is
automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or
iBooks Store. Automatic downloading is based on iTunes in the
Cloud availability by country, and previous purchases may be
unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available
in the store.
. Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
. Device settings
. App data
. Home screen and app organization
. iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
. Ringtones
. Visual Voicemail
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on
your device. It doesn't include data already stored in iCloud,
for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes,
shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in
iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
