    Yeah… That device you’re backing up… You had to set that up at some point. Perhaps it’s the 10th device you used the encrypted backup to transfer all your data from, but at some point you had your first device that you set up fresh and you had to go through all of the prompts.

    Not to discredit how neat being able to do an encrypted backup is, that’s certainly a feature all phones should have.

      Right, but it’s entirely possible to set it up once without opting into any Apple services (owning your soul), back it up, and never have to do it again.

      The fact that every device requires an initial setup done once aside, the user you responded to simply made a point about how much easier it is on iOS to bypass that process going forward than it is on android.
