There seems to be an issue with itunes 12.13.0.9 version checks for myself. I am unable to update my iphone 15 to ios 17.1 because itunes always prompts me to update itunes to the latest version which I already have done.
I have tried reinstalling, delete and reinstall, delete and reinstall older version of itunes, but it always prompts me to update itunes to latest version in order to update iphone to ios 17.1.
I am tempted to using the restore button on itunes, but afraid of not completing the update process because something failed and I need to use itunes to restore the phone.
