iTunes backup for iPhone is stupid


1. Cannot specify the backup folder
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
2. Even my iMac has available space 200G and my iPhone storage is 47.5GB of 256GB Used, it still prompts no enough space to backup
3. Cannot specify the backup category/level like which apps/data will be backed up.
