Maybe you didn’t read the original message. I didn’t migrate the
phone, the IT technician did.

If you download from iCloud, your apps and data download in the

Note that if you choose the latter, you will wait for everything to
come over directly from your old iPhone, but no downloading is
required.

Now: how long did the technician have your iPhone?

 
I think I was there 15-20 minutes.  That includes authenticating for
the MDM software and transfer of the phone number through VZW portal.
The required Microsoft apps were already preinstalled before I showed
up.
 
I mentioned earlier, the transfer method used was direct phone to
phone.  Considering this was a work phone, there was very little for
it to transfer since all mail is on the Microsoft Exchange servers
and I don't have personal apps or pictures on it.

I think you'll find that the reason everything wasn't where you left
it was because this wasn't the standard Apple iOS migration, but
rather one mediated by your company's MDM software.

Nah. He'll just claim "ignorance" and pretend Arlen is right.

When you perform an ordinary iOS migration from an old device to a new
one, everything is right where you put it.

Everyone but Arlen and badgolferman knows this from first-hand
experience. But they'll never acknowledge or admit this reality,
because: troll.
