 iOS 16 brings several stunning new features, including the ability to edit/recall sent messages, a new customized lock screen with widgets, updated Focus Mode, and more. You know you should back up your iPhone before upgrading to the new iOS 16 – it would be a big headache to have your iPhone data lost unexpectedly without a backup.

   The newer iOS 16 beta 2 allows iCloud backup over a cellular network, which is a big update compared to previous iCloud backups available only over Wi-Fi and supported 5G networks. However, it doesn’t mean that iCloud is a perfect method to back up the iPhone before updating to the new iOS 16. iCloud lacks desktop organization and things become trickier if you have to sync iPhone data across multiple devices with multiple Apple IDs. There are occasional hiccups during the iPhone backup process. The iCloud 5GB free storage space is also far from enough for iPhone backup before the iOS 16 update.
   iTunes used to be a popular way to back up iPhone data but now gets replaced by many other iPhone backup software. Based on our tests, here a better solution is introduced – backup iPhone data before the iOS 16 update with WinX MediaTrans. Look at the features review of WinX MediaTrans and follow the tutorial below to make a backup of your iPhone data before the iOS 16 update.
