I'm not ready to upgrade my iMac to Big Sur (currently have Catalina) but need to back up my iPhone. When I try, a message stating "a software update is required to connect to iPhone" comes up. How can I proceed with backing up my iPhone?
As explained in If you see "Software update is required to connect to your iOS device" on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support, the update is only meant to allow your current system to access the iPhone. It will not update your macOS.
