Two questions, really.
*
I currently have an iPhone 4s running iOS 6; I connect it to a Mini running OS X 10.8.5 and an old MacBook running 10.5.8. On both computers, I run iTunes 10.6.3.

I really want to upgrade my iPhone to iOS 7 and I MIGHT like to upgrade my Mini to Mavericks; I'm currently running* iTunes 10.6.3 on OS X 10.8.5 and everything is working well enough, but a lot of the apps I use no longer work; the developers have released upgrades that only run under iOS 7 and with iOS 8 due to ship in a month or so, I know I'm going to be well and truly sc***ed soon.
*
Has anyone tried to run iOS 7 with an earlier version of iTunes? (You have no idea how much I want to ask someone with an iPhone running the current OS to let me connect it to my computer just to I can prove to myself that it will not work.)
*
Has anyone tried to scrub iTunes 11 (the putrid one) from a Mavericks volume and replace it with an earlier version?
*
I know I can spend $50 and discover some of the answers by simply trying, but to the best of my knowledge, there's no clawback from an iOS upgrade.
*
Anyone?
