[Sierra] iTunes and my phone disagree

@cn When it's in sync, please make a "finally!" post :D

@bennomatic I’m in no rush for twelve if it has deleterious effects on [my] older hardware (SE)

@cn My kid has my old busted 6, and IIRC, the SE has hardware equivalent to the 6s... once I get my kid upgraded, I'll let you know if it seems acceptable, and if so, yours should be better, I guess.

@bennomatic First update iTunes to 12.8, then “all of a sudden” it knows about an iPhone update 🙃

@cn “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”

@bennomatic and, apparently doubles in size if not OTA 🤡

@cn Indeed. I learned that the hard way. Air 2:- 3Gb via iTunes, on my rather unused Win10 box and slow broadband (alongside gazillions of Windows updates): 3 hours. iPad Pro, tethered to iPhone's 4G: under 10 minutes. iPhone 7: at least an hour over WiFi, because Apple won't let me use MY data allowance to download 1.5Gb of update. Grumpy grump grump.
