With update to 12.12.6.1, I no longer see option to backup my iPhone

Is your iPhone "visible" to your iTunes 12.12.6.1?

Should be this case, click on the iPhone icon and you'll see the "backup now" option in the same place it was before (unless your iTunes update was unsuccessful).

Shouldn't be this case:--> If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

I am having the same problem with version 12.12.6.1 of iTunes. The <Backup Now> is greyed out.
