Only Half of Genius Bar Customers Backup iPhone to iTunes

Wi-Fi syncing to iTunes and backup via iCloud can’t come soon enough for lazy iPhone users since only about half of them sync and backup their devices to their computers.

According to an Apple Retail insider, only:

about 50 percent of Apple Store customers who need to get their iPhones swapped have never plugged them into iTunes after the initial activation and sync. This is a big reason, according to this birdie, for why Apple Store Geniuses are excited about iCloud.

Apple will be incorporating automatic iCloud and Wi-Fi syncing in iOS 5 this fall for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1 & 2 and iPod Touch 3rd and 4th generation.

James first bit into Apple when his mom and dad bought an Apple IIe in 1986. He switched to Wintel in the mid 90s when Apple was in a tailspin and back again to an iBook in 2005 when things were looking brighter. Hopefully there is no turning back to the dark side now.
