How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.

I read that OS X Mavericks will no longer allow me to use iTunes to sync my iPhone to a local system but makes iCloud mandatory? Is that correct?


iCloud is not a valid option for me since I have no control about my data there, I need to keep all my data (contacts, calendar...) on a system under my control and so far iTunes allowed me to do that which was one of the reasons I didn't even consider Android or Windows Phone.

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

I have received a rather funny email from Apple:

Well, Apple, I'm afraid that my ISP will kick me out if you notify them. 😁

Hax, YES of course there's interest. Just take a look at the top of the page, "60065 Views" ... those aren't people happy with the newly forced workflow . While I really like apple's software, I'd even be willing to move to a new calendar & address book if it weren't possible to integrate an outside sync with the native apps. Be just like the ol' Palm Pilot days.
