Hey everyone,

I’m in a bit of a bind here and need some advice. I have a massive amount of data (over 200GB) on my iPhone that needs to be backed up to iCloud. The iCloud backup process has been an absolute nightmare – I tried backing it up overnight, but when I checked in the morning, it still said “4 hours remaining.” I waited another hour and still saw the same message. It’s driving me crazy, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s had this issue.

At this point, I’m losing patience with Apple and the whole iCloud process. I know the “Download” feature from iCloud has a 1000-photo limit, which feels totally inadequate, and I’ve tried using the iCloud app from the Microsoft Store, but it’s super inconsistent. I’ve also considered using Wi-Fi transfer tools like Intel Unison, but I’m left wondering if it’s pulling data from the iPhone’s physical storage or just the iCloud-synced storage.

I need a reliable way to completely extract all my data (including photos, videos, apps, and other data) from my iPhone to a Windows PC. This is where iMazing caught my attention. It looks like a safe solution, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price or which plan to go for. Does anyone have experience with iMazing?

I see two plans: • Personal Device License (1 Device) • Personal Subscription (3 Devices)

Since I’m backing up a large amount of data and may need to restore it to multiple devices down the line, I’m wondering which plan would be best suited for me.

If you’ve used iMazing or any other reliable and safe software solution to extract data from an iPhone to a Windows PC, please let me know your experiences and recommendations. I don’t want to waste money on a tool that’ll only cause more frustration.

Apologies if this is a repetitive post, but I could really use some help with this!

Thanks!
