    iMazing is a good app in terms of features, but you can't use a single license for multiple phones. So even if you're on a single computer, you have to pay for each additional phone. For example, I paid for iMazing to access my iPhone XR, but now that I upgraded to an iPhone 13, I have to pay for an additional license for my new phone. Not the most user-friendly setup.
