Simon and Sieghard,
Just a quick update re iTunes12.7.
I am now in the process of setting up my new iPhone 8.
As soon as I connected to the PC, it told me that my phone needs 12.7 in
order to continue.
So, it would seem, that Apple's decided to make it a 1 way train ride. (
All aboard the train which is express).
Hopefully iTunes will just become a player as more and more of it's
functions creep in to iOS.

Hi Simon,
You can completely uninstall iTunes 12.7 and find a download for an
older version or, depending on when you installed it, you could
restore your computer to a restore point from before the update.
However, Sadam is correct, if you have updated to iOS 11 it might be
too late as I am not sure if they will work with previous iTunes
versions. Here is a statement from an article about iTunes 12.7, I
made this into a link so if you click on it the article will load:
Additionally, iTunes 12.7 adds support for iOS 11 devices as well as
new Apple Music features like social sharing.

Having said all that, what exactly is it you miss in iTunes 12.7? I
agree with Sadam in that iTunes is playing less and less of an
important roll for iOS devices and as far as I am concerned that is a
good thing. I still think iTunes will be around for a long time since
it does serve a certain purpose both on the Mac and on PC’s, but when
I did an encrypted backup before the update I noticed that the last
time I did an iTunes backup which is probably also the last time I
hooked my phone up to the computer was last March. For the most part I
only connect my phone if I want to put a new ringtone I made onto the
phone and I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple came up with a way to add
ringtones maybe via iCloud Library and the Files app in the future
hence further reducing the need for the iPhone to get connected.
Regards,
Sieghard
