Is there way to connect and backup iPhone without installing Big Sur? Third party apps, perhaps?

I'd like t be able to connect my iPhone to Mac and back it up, but not at the expense of installing Big Sur (losing many powerful apps). Is there a work around?

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.14

If you have Mojave or earlier you back up the phone using iTunes. If you have Catalina or Big Sur you use Finder. Here is the help article→How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
