Can This Software Do What I Need?

DearMob is most relevant when you want direct control over individual iPhone files, backups and migration instead of treating every device-management job as one complete synchronization operation.

Your situation Assessment What it means

• I want to copy iPhone photos, videos or music to my computer without syncing the entire device

  Selective media transfer

  Supported

  DearMob lets you select individual photos, albums, videos or songs and export them to the computer or external storage instead of requiring a complete device sync.

• I want a full iPhone backup but also need selective backup and restore

  Flexible backup workflow

  Supported

  DearMob supports complete device backup and restore as well as selective handling of specific data categories, with the backup destination configurable on the computer or external storage.

• I am moving from an old iPhone to a new iPhone or iPad

  Device migration

  Supported

  The product includes migration and restore workflows intended to move supported content between iOS devices, including a 1:1 migration path documented by DearMob.

• I want to transfer HEIC photos to a computer but need JPEG copies for compatibility

  HEIC photo management

  Supported

  DearMob can retain original HEIC files or convert supported HEIC images to JPEG during the applicable transfer workflow while preserving available photo information such as metadata and timestamps.

• I need to manage contacts, SMS, calendars, books, podcasts, voice memos or files from a larger desktop interface

  iOS content management

  Supported

  DearMob provides separate management areas for these content types, allowing supported items to be viewed, exported, imported, edited or deleted according to the specific category.

• I want to protect local backups, photos, videos or contacts with a password

  Encrypted data storage

  Supported

  DearMob documents password encryption for iDevice backups and supported exported files using multiple encryption components including RSA, AES, PBKDF2 and Argon2.

• I want wireless transfer instead of keeping my iPhone connected by USB

  Wi-Fi device management

  Supported

  DearMob supports Wi-Fi as well as USB for documented transfer workflows after the required device connection and trust setup. USB remains the more predictable choice for very large transfers.

• I need to recover permanently deleted iPhone files that are not present in a backup

  Deleted-data recovery

  Different tool

  DearMob is primarily a transfer, management, backup and restore product. Its restore features work with available backups; it should not be confused with forensic-style deleted-data recovery software that scans device storage for previously deleted records.

How It Works

Connect the iPhone or iPad, choose the content category or backup function you need, make the intended changes and then complete the transfer, backup, restore or synchronization step.

Connect an iPhone or iPad

1. Install and open DearMob iPhone Manager on the licensed Windows PC or Mac.
2. Connect the iPhone or iPad and approve the device's Trust This Computer request when prompted.
3. Wait for DearMob iPhone Manager to read the available device information and content categories.
4. Choose USB for the most direct connection or configure the documented Wi-Fi workflow when wireless management is preferred.

Transfer Photos, Videos or Music

1. Open Photo Transfer, Video or Music according to the content you want to move.
2. Select individual items, albums or a larger group rather than transferring unrelated data automatically.
3. Use Export to copy selected iPhone content to the computer, or Add / Import when supported local files should be sent to the iOS device.
4. Apply compatible format-conversion options when a source file needs to be converted for the target device or computer workflow.

Create an iPhone Backup

1. Open Backup & Restore in DearMob iPhone Manager.
2. Choose the appropriate full or selective backup workflow for the data that needs protection.
3. Select or change the backup destination when the backup should be stored outside the default local path.
4. Enable backup encryption when password protection is required, then begin the backup and keep the device connected until completion.

Restore or Migrate to Another iPhone

1. Connect the destination iPhone or iPad and open Backup & Restore.
2. Choose the relevant DearMob backup or migration workflow.
3. Select the supported data that should be restored or transferred rather than assuming every stored category must be copied.
4. Begin the restore or migration and avoid disconnecting either required device during the operation.

Manage iPhone Files from the Desktop

1. Open the relevant content section such as Files, Contacts, SMS, Book, Podcast, Voice, Calendar or App.
2. Review the items available in that category.
3. Use the supported export, add, edit, rename or delete controls for the task being performed.
4. Complete Sync where the specific content-management module requires synchronization before the changes are applied to the device.

Product Interface & Workflow

DearMob iPhone Manager organizes iOS management by content type, so transferring photos, editing contacts, backing up a device and moving app files remain separate operations instead of being forced into one all-or-nothing sync.

The home screen provides direct routes into the major jobs: photo transfer, music, video, backup and restore, files and other iOS-data categories. This structure is useful when only one type of content needs attention because there is no need to begin a complete device synchronization first.

Photo management supports album-based selection, export, import and supported HEIC conversion. Music management adds playlists, metadata editing, ringtone creation and conversion of incompatible audio to Apple-friendly formats, while Video can convert supported incompatible media during transfer and provides options for large 4K video libraries.

The management modules extend beyond media: Contacts can be edited and deduplicated, SMS can be exported with conversation media, Files exposes compatible app documents, and separate areas handle apps, books, podcasts, voice memos, calendars, bookmarks and flash-drive-style storage.

Important Conditions & Limitations

The main buying checks are the operating-system-specific license, computer count and whether the required job is transfer or backup rather than deleted-data recovery.

Windows and Mac Checkout Products Are Separate

The supplied Windows and Mac plans use different product IDs. Purchase the operating-system-specific license that matches the computers where DearMob will be installed instead of assuming a Windows checkout also grants a Mac license.

Premium 365 and Lifetime Are Different License Models

Premium 365 in the supplied offers is a one-year license for three PCs or three Macs. Lifetime offers are identified separately and cover the desktop-device count stated in the individual purchase box.

The Free Version Uses Daily Credit Points

The vendor currently provides 100 free credit points per day. Different transfer and backup operations consume different numbers of points, so the free edition is suitable for evaluation but is not equivalent to unrestricted Full Version usage.

DearMob Is Not a Raw Deleted-Data Recovery Scanner

Backup Restore can recover information that exists in an available backup, but the product's central workflow is file management, transfer, backup and migration. Do not buy it solely for forensic recovery of permanently deleted iPhone storage with no usable backup.

Cloud Files Are Not Exposed Like Local Device Files

DearMob's Files guide states that the File manager handles local files available through the device and compatible apps; it does not provide general direct access to arbitrary cloud-stored files through that module.

Wi-Fi Performance Depends on the Network

Wireless transfer is available for documented workflows, but network quality affects speed and stability. DearMob's own file-management guidance recommends USB when large transfers would otherwise be slowed or interrupted by Wi-Fi conditions.

App Management Is Subject to iOS Restrictions

DearMob provides app-management and app-file functions, but Apple's operating-system restrictions determine what third-party desktop software can access, install, back up or restore for a specific app and iOS release.

Gift and Bundle Offers Are Not the Same Product Package

The supplied 1-PC Lifetime + Gifts checkout includes additional software, while the VideoProc Converter AI + DearMob offer is a separate two-product Lifetime bundle. Their contents should not be assumed to apply to the ordinary standalone DearMob licenses.

Free Trial / Free Version

DearMob provides a permanent free version with a daily credit allowance, letting users try its actual transfer and backup functions before purchasing unrestricted Full Version access.

Trial / free point	Current documented status	Purchase relevance
Free version	Available for Windows and Mac	No prior registration or credit card is required to start evaluating the free edition.
Daily allowance	100 Credit Points per day	Credits are consumed by supported operations, so intensive transfers and repeated backups can reach the free daily limit.
Photo operations	Vendor comparison lists credit use per transferred photo	The free version can demonstrate photo transfer and management but remains usage-limited.
Backup operations	Full or selective backup consumes a larger part of the daily credit allowance	Regular backup use is a stronger reason to compare the unrestricted paid licenses rather than relying on daily credits.

System Requirements

The current DearMob technical specification publishes both Windows and Mac host requirements together with the supported iOS range and minimum desktop hardware.

Requirement	Current documented value	Notes
Windows	Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 · 32/64-bit	Current DearMob technical specification.
macOS	OS X 10.9 Mavericks through macOS 26.0 Tahoe	Native Apple silicon support is currently documented.
Supported iOS	iOS 7 through iOS 26	The current product page separately highlights iOS 26 and iPhone 17-series support.
Display	1280 × 800 or above	Published for both Windows and Mac in the current specification.
CPU	Pentium IV 2.4 GHz or above	This is the vendor's published desktop requirement.
RAM	1 GB system memory	Published minimum in the current technical specification.
Hard disk	200 MB application space	Additional storage is required for photos, videos and device backups exported to the computer.
iTunes	Not required by DearMob	The vendor's current Windows and Mac specification states “No iTunes needed.”
