iOS 9 beta requires iTunes 12?

[Tritto]

Quick question for you guys using iOS 9 betas. Does it require iTunes 12.2.2?

I'm currently on iOS 7.1.2 for my 5S and iPad and thinking about updating to iOS 9 when it's released. However, I've been avoiding iTunes 12 because it seems even less flexible than iTunes 11 and 12 trashed 1/2 my wife's music files when she accidentally installed it.

Is the public beta currently requiring you to have iTunes 12 installed for syncing/iOS device upgrades?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can update your phone from 7.12 to 9.0 Over the Air. So you don't need to go trough you MAC/PC.

Thanks Atwater. I think I've found in the past when I updated my iPad 4 to iOS 7 that if I wanted to back up on my laptop or sync with my iTunes (W7) I got a message telling me I had to update to the new iTunes.

Sometimes, an iOS beta comes with an iTunes beta too. It wasn't the case for iOS 9.
However there's always a chance they will release a new version of iTunes after the keynote,

Is it required to have the latest iTunes to sync with iOS 9? We'll have to find out when GM comes out.

So the answer is not at the moment, but wait and see with the final release. Thanks guys.
