   When I used iTunes to back up my device to the computer, you had the   
   ability to save IPAs and reinstall older versions to your new device.   
   When a newer version of iTunes came out that removed that capability I   
   complained about it here and nospam directed me to a version of iTunes   
   which still did that.  I still have the installation program he   
   recommended but haven't installed it on my Windows 11 laptop.  These   
   days I back up my phone to iCloud.  I know you don't approve of that   
   but I'm fine with it.
