So to confirm, you don’t see any of what is shown in the following backup-related article, when you connect your Mac to your (running) iPhone 12?

Which iOS version is running on the iPhone 12?


AFAIK, there’s also no iOS downgrade available right now, given the current release has been available for a while.
