The system requirements for the latest iTunes is 10.10.5 (Yosemite), one would think it could backup the old phone and restore onto the new one.
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
Even though Apple's own vague article implies that only the XS and XS Max require 10.11. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209142
