About:
iExplorer is a comprehensive utility for browsing and transferring files from iOS devices to a computer. It allows users to access the full file system of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, including app data, media, and backups. The tool simplifies the process of extracting specific files, creating backups, and managing device content without relying on iTunes.

Key Features:

Browse and access iOS file system directly
Transfer photos, messages, and music to a computer
Export and manage iTunes backups
Mount iOS device as a regular disk drive
Preview files before transfer

Use Cases:

Extracting specific files from an iOS backup without a full restore
Transferring photos and videos from an iPhone to a computer
Saving and exporting text messages and call logs for record-keeping

Alternatives:

AnyTrans – Similar full-featured iOS manager with a focus on device migration and content management
iTunes – Apple's official software, limited to syncing and full backups rather than selective file access
