It's great that this exist (and it's good that you're pointing it out!).
But it's pretty basic, unfortunately. If Apple would just spend a bit more effort, running iPhone backups to your mac via Wifi regularly would be totally viable. It still is, but not's not very convenient.
For example, I cannot exclude certain categories from these backups. I'd like to exclude photos, since they are already on my computer and I don't want needless duplicates of them. Same with e.g. downloaded podcast episodes. Similarly, it seems like I can't backup my contacts, since those are already in iCloud.

The biggest iPhone is 256 GB. Hard drive space is cheap. Very cheap. So cheap that I would rather backup programs stopped trying to be so clever to save me space. Or allowing me to be that clever.
