Actually this seems to be no longer the case


iOS 12 requires iTunes 12.8 or better running on

OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan or better.


I bought another mini and put El Capitan on it so I could backup my IOS devices.


But I just updated to itunes 12.8.1 which is the last and latest for Yosemite

and was able to backup my iPhone SE.


So the correct statement is

iOS 12 requires iTunes 12.8.1 or better running on

OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite or better.


It was gone

and now its back

no communication or press coverage that I am aware of
