All apps you had were installed on the new phone when you set it up and were the latest version. When there are newer versions available you’ll see them available. The actual apps you had on the old phone are not backed up, just the fact you had them.
Possibly because all your apps were updated when they were moved over from your older phone?
Loving the action button: it’s my new garage door opener. 
None of the backup methods actually backup the apps, all apps are always the latest versions after a restore of any kind.
Coming from an iPhone 13, now on an iPhone 15 Pro, I’m noticing a green glare of sorts when at a slight angle when viewing. Is that True Tone? I have it off cause I hated it on my 13. Wondering if that’s a bug or how the display is. If so, not impressed.
Edit// Night shift and True Tone are off. This is most noticeable with a white background, but occurs always. Updated via IPSW to 17.0.2.

That's partially true. The backups don't save the apps, but iOS tries to restore the version of apps that you had when you made the backup if they're still available on Apple's servers.

Probably should add some logic to it. Such as, if you aren’t at home it asks are you sure you want to open the garage.
Could also do something like, when I’m at work. The button does this. Etc.
That’s going to be pretty slick when you get that setup.. I’m trying to figure out what I want my action buttons to be used for.
Who knows? What have you done to try and resolve it? You haven’t really given us anything to go on!
Really frustrating working with shortcuts now though. The UI is very touchy. A definite step backwards.
You will only get 17.0.2 if you have an iPhone 15 model phone. If you do, it should have offered it to you immediately upon starting your phone for the first time.
If you do not have an iPhone 15 model, I would try restarting your phone and then checking for the update to 17.0.1 again. It’s a pretty important update.
If interested in doing this, here’s a link to a great YouTube video demonstrating how to do it. The sample shortcut can also be downloaded. (H/t to Mark Gurman for posting this in this week’s PowerOn newsletter)
Yeah I have restarted my phone but it says it’s up to date with iOS 17 and no option for an update to iOS 17.0.1.
I assume you have your Beta updates switched to OFF ..? it wouldn’t show up for me till I toggled that on then off
Because you're looking in the wrong place?
OS updates are in settings, NOT app store....
(and iOS 17.0.2 was installed on 15 / 15 Pro upon initial setup, after eSIM transfer, but before restore - it was a brand new screen/process this year after the debacle last year w/ 14 / 14 Pro migration corruption / failures)
