This seems to be an issue with the latest iPhone 7. I have to manually update via iTunes even though it's already updated on the device (phone).
Has anyone else noticed this and is Apple aware of this bug?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10
Update what via iTunes? Transfer of purchases no longer transfers apps, due to app thining. Since you do not provide any additional information, it is difficult to know exactly what it is that you are trying to transfer.
What [additional] information did you want? My date of birth, driver's license number, social security number? lol. Title is self explanatory. Transferring as in [app] purchases.
I'm sorry, no where in what you typed does it say app, my response says that. For all I knew, you were referring to music. I've provided an answer to the reason you cannot transfer app purchases. You don't need to. Apps are available in the app store, and your app data is saved on the phone and the phone's backup. It is not necessary to keep a backup of the app in iTunes, but you can. However, as you have found, it require you do do it manually. It is not a bug, it is designed to do this to reduce size on the devices.
