One would think, but that does not make it so. I just went through this with my boss and her iPhone 6. She updated to iOS 12, and it would no longer sync with Yosemite (with latest iTunes). An error message popped up stating 10.11 was required. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8540034
One more example of the unncessary need to hookup to a computer.
Backup via iCloud, restore via iCloud -- like you never even got a new phone.
That would not work for anyone who has a fair amount of music, especially those who have carefully ripped their CD collections into lossless formats. If you have very little on your phone, you might not ever have to back up locally. Should be safe because nothing ever goes wrong with cloud storage.
