It appears to.I'm sure you can't do iOS update, but does it still work for syncing and app management?
THIS IS SO FSCKING USEFUL THANKSYes to all, including iOS updates.
I'm using 12.6.4 still, I don't do OTA software updates, have less issues as a result. I had to do this for iOS 11.3.1 (& 11.4): To update iOS just download IPSW, can find various places, (should be sourced from apple servers), I like osxdaily they are prompt at getting them up and a straightforward site. Put it in ~(user)/library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates folder. (If your library folder is invisible, search on how to make your library folder visible.) Then go to iTunes connect your idevice, hold down option key press "Check for update" this will open that folder, click on the correct IPSW file and it just works.
You can still do a restore and everything else with iTunes 12.6.4, it just won't download the newest version of iOS, you have to download it and put in the software updates folder as I said above (you can find more detailed instructions in a search).
That filename you are referring to is for 11.2.6. You will not be able to download the latest software update through iTunes. You need to find the latest .ipsw, I like to use this site, (but, there are others as well): http://osxdaily.com/2018/07/09/ios-11-4-1-update-download-ipsw/ They are pretty quick to post the links when the new iOS comes out.Just to be 100% clear- I just installed iTunes 12.6.4.3, and if I use iPhone_4.7_11.2.6_15D100_Restore.ipsw to update iPhone (6S) to iOS 11.4.1, I will still be able to do full backups to desktop, download & update apps via iTunes, and maintain same functionality (minus ability to do further updates to iTunes/iOS from iTunes 12.6.4.3) as I was able to do with iOS 11.2.6 (and iTunes 12.6.2)? I am also thinking of updating from Sierra to High Sierra on my iMac, and wonder if that will have any effect- would just have to reinstall iTunes 12.6.4.3 afterwards.
Just better safe than sorry.
Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up. But the link you provided does not appear to include a way to download iTunes 12.6.5 Do you have another link?minor update to iTunes 12.6.5 quietly released on the 12th, I assume to add compatibility for newest iOS devices: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208079
downloading iOS 12.0 .ipsw now, will verify it works, (it should), later today.

There's already a thread about this here somewhere. You cannot install 12.6.4 or 12.6.5 without some workarounds. I don't know if it's fully functional once you do these steps. You'll want to look for the thread that covers it.From what I've seen recently Apple plans to stop updating 12.6.xx branch and you won't be able to install it on Mojave. Have you seen any proofs?

Edit: iTunes 12.6.5 not working in Mojave
