    In case some people can't find this option, try clicking the little triangle in a square icon in the bottom left, as it may be hiding the option.

  • In my case I needed to select the device first, otherwise no menu appears

  • Wow, is this still the best way to do this? It seems like an "iOS devices" preference pane in System Preferences next to the other hardware pref. panes would be a much more intuitive way to handle this.

  • Because really, doesn't his answer answers the question, "Where is the one place on my Mac where I control which application opens after my iPhone is connected?"?

You can select Other... and then iTunes from the drop down menu below Connecting this iPhone opens. Select No application

Open iTunes/Preferences with your iPhone connected and check:
