Hey everyone!

Sadly, I’m forced to have an iPhone because of work. It’s a good device but I hate the philosophy behind it.

Right now I have a windows 10 vm to run iTunes and backup that phone.

It takes around 30gb on my Surface Go 1 with a 128gb ssd.

If I could use bottles or wine to backup my iPhone, it would save me some space and help me fully get rid of windows.

Sadly, last time I tried none of these worked. I think I managed to install iTunes, but then it crashed and sent me some weird messages.

So has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with these programs?

    If it’s a work phone, they should be paying for it, not you.

    If OP is in the same situation as me, then he has a work phone that he can use privately as well. It's basically a free high-end phone. Am I forced (OP used that term) to use it privately? No. I could buy a second phone, put my SIM in there, and run around with two phones all day. Not going to do that, to many downsides. And since I can use that phone privately as well, my private phone data isn't going onto any servers my employer controls.
