You know the iPhone has not needed iTunes for quite awhile? I'm not even sure about the last time I started iTunes on my computer. Even moving from an iPhone to a new iPhone is as simple as holding the 2 phones close together and signing in on the new phone.

iCloud also works fine with Apple devices, but can be mostly skipped. Google Photos will happily upload all the pics on the iPhone to Google pictures. The 5GB iCloud is then plenty for iPhone data backups.
