How do I fully backup an iPhone running iOS 16.5.1 to a mid-2012 MacBook Pro running Catalina? Recent iOS update is no longer compatible - I cannot update my Mac to Big Sur as it is not supported. Does anyone know another way to back up my iPhone fully so that it is restorable? Thinking about getting iMazing or something similar. Thanks in advance.

When I try, a message stating "a software update is required to connect to iPhone" comes up. How can I proceed with backing up my iPhone?

Don't want to update software because I have a few programs that I use that are not compatible with the Catalina upgrade. Is there a way to backup my phone without the upgrade? Mac update-upgrade.

No. Itunes 12.8 on High Sierra, and Mojave should be able to backup a device running iOS 14.

Your iTunes version may need a small update which should be prompted when you connect the iOS 14 device.
