Will iOS 13/14/15 sync with High Sierra and iTunes 12.8.3.1?

I understand I need iTunes 12.8.2 to sync with the latest iPhones, but do I need Mojave as well? The newest MacBooks I have can't be upgraded past High Sierra.

From the New SE tech specs page (iPhone SE - Technical Specifications - Apple):


  • Syncing to a Mac or PC requires:
  • macOS Catalina 10.15 or later using the Finder
  • macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 through macOS Mojave 10.14.6 using iTunes 12.8 or later


So it appears High Sierra (10.13.X) and iTunes 12.8.3.1 is sufficient, at least initially. If it doesn't actually work I can always return the phone.
