I am using that version of iTunes but on Windows (7 and 10). Been using it to download music and apps to iPads and iPhones all the way through the iOS 14 lifecycle.I’m still using iTunes 12.6.5.3 (I know...) on High Sierra and just wanted to check if I’ll still be able to sync music / content with my iPhone SE (2016) if I update to iOS 14. Thanks!

It does not support my iPhone 12 mini ☹️Has there been a definitive conclusion on what are the newest/last devices supported by iTunes 12.6.5 when running iOS 14?
Any experience with iOS 15 yet?I am using that version of iTunes but on Windows (7 and 10). Been using it to download music and apps to iPads and iPhones all the way through the iOS 14 lifecycle.
I’ll answer myself for anyone who comes searching: on windows, on an iPad mini 6 running iOS 15.1, no problem connecting to 12.6.5.3Any experience with iOS 15 yet?
Back when iOS 14.8 and iOS 15 were both being signed, I briefly upgraded an iPhone 7 to iOS 15 and connected it to a Mac running MacOS Sierra and iTunes 12.6.5. After accepting the MobileDevice update when prompted, iTunes 12.6.5 recognized the iOS 15 device. Backing up seemed to work, although the device had just been wiped and was otherwise empty, so it might not a robust test. I downgraded back to iOS 14.8 before the signing window closed and didn't run more extensive tests, but on the surface for Macs, it's likely that if a device worked with iTunes 12.6.5 on iOS 14, it'll also work on iOS 15.I’ll answer myself for anyone who comes searching: on windows, on an iPad mini 6 running iOS 15.1, no problem connecting to 12.6.5.3
Also used it to download some music to an old SE running iOS 15 beta 1. Apps also downloaded and worked okay except that the app icon was not displayed. But some downloads from the App Store were having that problem too. Not tried it with a later beta.
Worth mentioning that my devices are iPhones X, 6s+ and original SE. iPads are Pro 10.5 and third generation Pro 11.9.
