iMazing iPhone Management Software Gets Fresh Design, Support for Vision Pro

version 3 is worst than 2 in terms of it’s licenses.
it’s per iPhone and not per computers.
let’s say u bought 3 devices license , if you change your phone 3 times wether for stolen and damaged reasons you will have to buy an extra device slots.
it is preferable to not upgrade your license for the version 2 and just flat out buy version 3 when it’s on sale .
own both license to mage devices up to iOS 18 and just use the new license for the new devices and new upgrades only for devices running iOS 19 when it’s out

I hate the new licensing model... device limits are awful I dont mind paying for upgrades but this is way to limiting

DigiDNA today announced the launch of iMazing 3, an updated version of its iPhone and iPad management software designed for Macs and Windows machines.

iMazing 3 features an updated user interface with a dedicated "Discover" section that makes it easier to find popular tools for doing things like transferring photos from an iPhone, downloading Messages, transferring music, and making backups.

A Device Overview section offers details about connected products like serial number, model number, device ID, date of latest backup, and more, for simple multi-device management, and there's also a Data section for accessing saved media, messages, contacts, and other content.

For battery management, there is a battery section that provides details on current temperature, design max charge, effective max charge, and charge cycles, plus there are options for managing storage.

The iMazing 3 software on Mac works with the Vision Pro in addition to the iPhone and the iPad, and there is support for remote pairing. Other new features include a Dark Mode, improved Backup and snapshot management, and a redesigned settings interface.

iMazing 3 can be downloaded from the iMazing website ('https://imazing.com/') at prices starting at $40. iMazing customers who purchased the software after October 20, 2020 can upgrade for free, and those with older licenses can upgrade at a 50 percent discount.

Beware - NO NOT BUY!
Well, what they fail to mention is that once you have connected up to three iPhones even though they no longer exist or are you recycled them, you’ll have to purchase an additional license of $35 for every device you connect to it. I recently used this to extract messages from three older phones that no longer exist. I contacted Support and they wanted me to provide proof of documentation of disposal to release the link. Otherwise you have to purchase an additional license of $35 per device. The previous versions did not do this and they do not disclose this clearly, that is permanent. Look for other solutions until they fix their licensing to be like previous versions.

As a long time user of iMazing, version 3 is an excellent release with a lot of useful features that I believe many will use on a regular basis. It has much better backup ability (not to mention extraction of data) that iCloud.

The problem is trying to monetize people who would buy one license for one Mac and then use that Mac to charge people for iPhone repair services on potentially hundreds of phones.

I'm not sure their approach to this is correct, but that's why.

I get your point, but if someone wants to cheat, they will do it no matter what. But that way they f'up their normal and potential users and people who would likely buy it under 'normal' circumstances are basically forced to either use another program or to pirate it.

Is there any program that offers a selective iPhone / iPad restore of a full backup? I like to do clean installs and would prefer to only restore just iMessages / SMS / texts. No pix, no apps, just a fresh start with everything else. I can get my contacts via iCloud.
