My apps are working fine the way they are and I don't want to update them. I've been told that updating the apps uses more space. I want to sync to 4.3 (waiting to do ios 5). Do they automatically update during sync?
updated apps are always a good thing, they sometimes add new features, sometimes fixes, etc.
they don't necessarily use more space, they update and get rid of the old.
you have to update yourself, or they will never update.
