THE NEW IPHONE TRAP
A restored app is an installation—but not a download
When users move to a new iPhone, iCloud can restore your app automatically. Installations may rise while Downloads stay flat—even when your campaign changed nothing.
APPLE App Store Connect metric definitions. Restore is exposed only in the raw Analytics Reports API.

Questions
What does the skill actually produce?
A dated launch plan, a season-to-paywall chain, a placement-aware peak budget, or a measurement verdict—based on your account type, storefront, category, and setup.
Does it connect to my Apple Ads account?
No. This version works locally on the context and numbers you provide. It does not require account access and does not change campaigns.
Is it only for Q4?
No. It covers fixed events, moving dates, market-specific calendars, and recurring behavioral cycles throughout the year.
Can it predict my seasonal ROAS?
No—not without your economics and cohort data. It plans cost pressure and a valid measurement window, but does not invent trial-to-paid, refund, or LTV numbers.
