Here is good news! FonePaw upgraded iOS Transfer (Windows) to version 1.7.2, bringing the feature that you can connect iPhone/iPad/iPod to PC without needing pre-installing iTunes.
However, whether we use iTunes or FonePaw iOS Transfer, we may encounter the issue that ' iPhone is not recognized by PC/iTunes.' This software makes the data transfer between iOS device and computer far easier than before. ITunes used to be the only way to connect iOS devices to a computer in order to sync and back up data.
