How to Sync iPhone and iPad with Windows 10 PC Using iTunes

Whenever I sync my iPhone and iPad with Windows computer, I assure myself that the data inside is secure. For complete data protection, I also use iCloud and sync my data there. However, I use both Mac and Windows for 200% protection of my iPhone and iPad data, which includes files, docs, videos, photos, and more. You have already got an idea how you can sync your iOS devices with iCloud on Windows. Now, let’s explore another method to sync iPhone and iPad with Windows 10 PC using iTunes.

Moving your iPhone or iPad data to computer or Mac is the best practice to access your phone data from anywhere, anytime. However, you should be aware that syncing of iOS device via iTunes will give access to limited contents like photos, tones, ringtones etc. from your computer.
