• Create backups for information stored in the internal memory of the device. The fact is that if you constantly overwrite some files on the iPhone, then sooner or later conflicts may arise and this or that program will simply refuse to work. In order not to have to reinstall the application or completely “demolish” the operating system, you can use “rollback”. just load backup copies of data from your computer.
• Improving the operation of the gadget and its OS. A device like the iPhone does not allow its owners to easily make changes to system files (for example, add lines to the program code or “overclock” the graphics card). However, this can be done by connecting the device to a stationary computer and using special utilities. relevant only for experienced IT specialists.
• Restoring or updating the operating system.
