I believe Apple users have heard of the iTunes software. It provides convenience for us to transfer files between iOS devices and computers. However, it has many inhumane designs and is very troublesome to use. iMazing is a good software similar to iTunes. Next, the editor will compare the interface, functions and operations of the two softwares.
1. Interface
It can be seen that the software interface of iTunes is mostly text, and the icons and patterns are not prominent, so it looks more laborious.
Figure 1: iTunes software interface
The iMazing interface is divided into the upper menu bar, the connected device bar on the left, the application bar and function bar in the middle, and the device details bar on the right. Moreover, the icons in the entire interface are more prominent, which can help users quickly understand the functions of the entire interface.

2. Function
iTunes is a comprehensive software that integrates audio and video playback, application store, data backup, and device management. But the main focus is music management, digital video and other music-related functions. Therefore, there are few file backup and management functions.

iMazing is a software that specializes in iOS device management applications, so its device management functions are far superior to iTunes. Figure 4 shows the rich functions included in this software. Next, the editor will introduce several of its unique device management functions.

- Not only can you back up, but you can also browse its contents: as shown in Figure 5, you can directly read the encrypted iOS backup and preview the files in iMazing.

Backup and archive: iMazing can not only automatically backup, but also archive backups. The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the data is safe and will not directly overwrite old backups. Instead, it will back up the changed parts and optimize the disk, which can save backup time and storage space.

Print the backup content: As shown in Figure 7, when browsing the backup file, "Export PDF", "Export to text", "Print" and other export and print functions will appear on the lower right. It is very convenient and fast for users who have this need.

In general, iMazing has much richer functions than iTunes in terms of iOS device management.
3. Backup operation method
The operation method of iTunes backup function is very inhumane, such as the "synchronization" function in Figure 8. Its function is to keep the multimedia files (such as music, pictures, etc.) in the phone the same as those in the computer, but many users do this logic. I don’t understand, and it doesn’t support dragging and dropping files directly with the mouse to transfer.

iMazing's backup operation is very user-friendly. With the "Quick Transfer" function, you can directly drag and drop files or folders with the mouse to complete the file transfer. And you can also copy files on your iPhone/iPad to your own computer. This simple method allows first-time users to get started quickly.

The above is the comparison between iTunes and iMazing in terms of iOS device management. It can be seen that the latter has a more user-friendly design and operation and richer functions.
