I'm taking my iPhone 6 in for repair/replacement so will be backing it up and factory resetting first.
Question: Can I restore a backup of a my 6 (iOS9) onto a 4S, and then after the repair backup the 4S and restore the back onto the 6?

joker97: That's what confused me. So you first have to i sync all apps with iTunes? LastTwo time s i tried something like that all apps just vanished from my wife's phone ... She wasn't impressed!
trig42: It shouldn't matter, when you restore the 4S, it should then just re-download all the Apps.
I just had to restore my Mother in Laws iPad (she somehow put a passcode on it when she upgraded to iOS9, then had no idea what the code was). After wiping the iPad, it restored from a cloud backup, and then re-downloaded all her Apps and kept the location of them on her homescreens the same (even still had login details for her email, facebook and internet banking saved in their respective apps).
MadEngineer: Well, that's easy - forward their mail to yourself and reset their password. If their iTunes account is with a 3rd party email provider then slap your IT dept, then contact Apple armed with proof of purchase if the previous owner won't give it up.
