To celebrate the launch of the iPhone 15 models, we've teamed up with iMazing to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an iPhone 15 Pro and a copy of the iMazing iPhone backup software.

iMazing is Mac and Windows software that provides tools for iOS device management, going above and beyond what's possible with Apple's Finder-based iPhone management system on the Mac and iTunes on Windows. With macOS Sonoma coming up, iMazing is testing iMazing 3, a revamped version of the software.

A beta version of iMazing 3 is available for testing right now, and the updated app has been rebuilt with a more intuitive and responsive interface that makes it easier for users to get to what they need on a connected iPhone or iPad.

When opening the app, users are greeted with a Discover screen that provides users with quick access to iMazing's most-used features for tasks like downloading the photos from any iOS device, accessing and exporting text messages from an iPhone to a computer, backing up, updating to a new device, and using the drag and drop Quick Transfer to get files from a Mac to the right app on an iPhone.

While the Discover section gets users up and running with iMazing's most useful functions right away, there's also a Home screen with an overview of what you can do, and a Tools section that offers access to the entire iMazing catalog of options for doing everything from downloading your WhatsApp messages to saving copies of apps. When you connect an iPhone or an iPad to iMazing, you can also see additional information on storage and the health of the battery.

Convenience was the main focus of the iMazing 3 redesign, and creating and managing backups is more straightforward than before to make the app accessible to users of all skill levels. For more advanced users, iMazing 3 has a Devices screen that allows multiple connected devices to be managed at once through bulk actions, simplifying fleet management.

In the future, iMazing 3 is set to gain improved spyware detection, automatic photo transfers, enterprise improvements, and more. iMazing 3 is a native app on the Mac, and the iMazing team worked to ensure feature parity between Macs and PCs so the app is simple to use on all platforms. iMazing 3 is compatible with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and Apple's latest iPhones.

iMazing 3 is set to come out later this year, but available features can be tried in a beta capacity right now. iMazing is currently offering MacRumors readers a 30 percent discount on iMazing 2 and iMazing 3 for macOS and Windows through September 30, 2023 with the promo code MACRUMORS-iMAZING3. The discount is applicable to the current version of iMazing 2 and the upcoming final iMazing 3 release.

Thank you for having this contest if I win I’m giving it to my 16-year-old special needs daughter… she has cerebral palsy and also missing one eye and is almost blind in the other eye, so we use a lot of accessibility of the iOS
 
Thanks for the entries and discount code link.
Will try it as I've read some decent things about iMazing (for PC) though relatively pricey before discount.
 
Just curious, would anyone have any reason to use this if they use iCloud backup? If so, for what?

This is my thought exactly, I almost updated to version 3 tonight until I read that exact statement along with

"But we fully understand and appreciate that consumers accustomed to perpetual software licenses or who only use an app occasionally can be turned off by subscription models."

But they essentially created one with their policy...I sent a note to support doubt anything will come of it so I guess version 2 will be my last time using it as I despise these subscription models....

This times 1000! I used to be an iMazing user but their license policy is super sketchy and frankly hostile to the consumer. They lock you into a single mobile device per license, so if you upgrade your iPhone each year like I do, you’re forced to buy a new iMazing license each year as well. I found that out the hard way, and when I emailed their customer support asking to remove the old device from my license so I could use my new device they said “too bad, buy another license.”

Why don’t they just tie the license to your account rather than your device like how most other software licensing works? It’s so they can bleed you for more money and punish you for upgrading your device. Not impressed with iMazing for this reason.
