iExplorer
iExplorer is a comprehensive iOS device management tool that allows Mac users to access, browse, and transfer files between their iPhone, iPad, or iPod and their computer. Unlike iTunes, which has limited file access capabilities, iExplorer provides direct access to your device's file system, letting you transfer music, photos, messages, contacts, call logs, and other data without syncing restrictions. It's particularly popular among users who want to backup specific content, recover deleted files, or manage their iOS device files with more flexibility than Apple's built-in tools provide. The app also works with iTunes backups, allowing users to extract data from existing backup files.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the search results, iExplorer appears to have limited Apple Silicon compatibility information available, with one source indicating it "has not yet undergone testing on Apple Silicon Macs." However, the app appears to still be maintained by Macroplant, as evidenced by the relatively recent version 4.6.0. I recommend checking directly with Macroplant's website for the latest compatibility information and potential Apple Silicon updates. If you need an immediate native alternative, consider iPhone Explorer or iFunBox, which are mentioned as popular alternatives that may have better Apple Silicon support.
