It’s almost impossible to live a life without smartphone in nowadays, and for sure iPhone is the brightest one without any doubt. As a long time iPhone user, it plays a very important role of our daily life both from personal and business usage, like taking photos, managing tasks and social networking. It’s a good practice and habit to backup your iPhone data to Mac for following reasons.
For security. I have lost one of my iPhone before and all of valuable data was gone as I have never backed up it before. It took me a vey long time to get back my previous data, such as contacts, emails, photos. If I backed it before, then it will only take a few minutes to restore from the backup.
Save more disk space. The storage is always limited on portable devices, and iPhone is not an exception. And certain piece of data is eating disk space sharply, such as photos, music or videos. You have to move some of them to a secondary storage to open up opportunity for other apps and prevent lags for normal operations.
Many of users know that the iOS system is tightly closed and the move is designed to stop users from copying protected data between different devices and keep the iDevice more security and stability, sure it can be jailbroken but Apple takes a rather dim view of jailbroking your iPhone. To avoid the unnecessary jailbreaking and copy content from iPhone to Mac or Windows 7/8 computer. This article provides effective solution to backup your data , I’d prefer third party app for this kind of purpose. Because the official method is really gauche with less options left for customization.
