iOS 26 sync to older macOS?
Any word on which macOS version will be able to sync/backup/restore iOS 26? That is, for those not using iCloud? I’ve been looking around and not finding anything myself.

I could be wrong, but as I recall, the only requirement is that you need to be running at least 10.15 Catalina to be able to back up an iphone via the finder on a Mac, or you need the Apple devices app if you’re running Windows.
I don’t believe you need MacOS 26 to backup iOS 26. That would screw over a lot of people with older hardware or people that didn’t have Macs.
Good news, I feared they'd taken the opportunity to jettison some older versions. Not all the way up to 26, but I personally feared Monterey was in danger.
