Apple no longer supports syncing ringtones and apps
The iTunes 12.7 update has stirred quite a controversy among users. Despite Apple's encouragement for users to utilize the new App Store on iOS 11 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch to sync purchased apps or ringtones.
However, this is also the cause of frustration for many users. The reason lies in this iTunes 12.7 version, where the system no longer permits users to sync iOS apps or ringtones on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch from Mac or Windows computers since Apple removed the iOS App Store feature from iTunes.
In addition, iOS 11 will be officially released on September 19 and will support devices such as iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, and iPhone 7, as well as the new iPhone 8 and iPhone X models.
