Missing Apps page in iTunes 12.7

I'm extremely sad Steve Jobs isn't with us and Apple anymore. The junkheads working there are fouling up more and more useful things... I think, Steve would have told them what to do and what not !!

thanks for this - honestly i am sick and tired of so many updates to software and apps ALL the time - i understand this is part of the iteration process but it seems never-ending some days.

And this update is one of the worst YUK YUK YUK

How long will Apple allow this anomaly to go on? Unless they reverse their present policy, their practice in the past is to regrettably force users to sooner or later to do or go in the direction of choices they have made.

I will be staying with iTune 12.6 to the point when Apple is forcing me to update iTune. At that time, I will no longer be buying any more Apple phone and will be going to Samsung Android. Much more customization possibility.

Good Luck Apple. I would assumed the ios app store usage will get a nosedive in the coming months...

Same here...I think its a bad idea to remove the Apps page from Itunes by Apple. I wouldn't have updated my Itunes page and I dont use Icloud as well. Never liked it form the beginning plus it slows the phone down.

You will need to get used to it (give in), find alternatives, or

simply give up the use of "smart devices".

Uh, no. I don't have to be a slave and give in. They're destroying the ecosystem Steve created. With 12.7, it will take 20-30 hours to restore my device instead of the 2-3 hours it takes under 12.6. Explain to me how that is an improvement.

I suggest everyone send Apple feedback on this every day. Apple did release 12.6.3, so they are getting heat for this and they are responding to it.

My device backups will NEVER reside in iCloud.

"Give up the use of smart devices"? You do realize that there are other companies that make 'smart devices', right? Sounds like you think Apple is the only source for these.

Apple is going full bore on the dependence of iDevices on having Apple servers

as their only source all materials and backups.

And it will be their undoing.

Cheers, Patrick

I am by no means suggesting Apple is the only source, just saying it is an alternative.

FWIW, Android is far worse in terms of management than iOS and they have

always required downloading apps on restore.

In addition, unlike Apple, Every device manufacturer puts their own "twist"

on Android and the OS is not the same on every device. You are also

dependent on the due diligence of each manufacturer as to when critical updates

to Android are rolled out.

So, the grass isn't all that greener on the other side of the fence.

However, Apple is slowly becoming their equal.

The unfortunate thing is that there are only two choices:

iOS or Android.

Apple doesn't care. Their solution, move or travel somewhere

to a public WiFi with each and every one of your devices.

Did that already!

Can we still sync our phones and ipads to Itunes? and what if we get a new phone??

Not sure it would be any different. His vision was a world of

devices connected to the cloud.

I think this ***** as well

Bring this feature back

Apple seems to be loosing its touch with people

It may be broken already. I can't update my apps in iTunes 12.6. I get a -503 error.
