Three apps not to install instead of just one means more work. Thanks Apple!

I’m actually super down for this. The only thing I use iTunes for is to make encrypted incremental image backups of my phone and iPad. I’d love to just have a specific program for that, rather than all of the iTunes bloat.

As much as I dislike iTunes. Having a one-click encrypted incremental backups is fucking stellar.

If only they could create such an app for Linux. That way I could just ditch my windows virtual machine and not try to create a macOS virtual machine🙏
