Will this update Catilina? I don't want to install Catilina.

The minimum requirements to backup and sync an iOS device running iOS 13.3 is Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan and iTunes 12.8. You do not need to be running Catalina. I am running El Capitan and I sync two iPads and an iPhone all running iOS 13.3.

These are the requirement for the newest iPhone 11, for syncing.

Syncing to a Mac or PC requires:

macOS Catalina 10.15 using the Finder
macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 through macOS Mojave 10.14.6 using iTunes 12.8 or later
Windows 7 or later using iTunes 12.10 or later (free download from itunes.com/download)
