Is iOS 16 compatible with Mac OS 12?

I have an iPhone running iOS 16.1.1 and just upgraded my iMac to OS 12.6.3 (Monterey). When I tried connecting my phone to the iMac, I got an error message on my computer saying that a software update was required to connect to my phone. Do I need to upgrade all the way to OS 13, Ventura??

iPhone 13, 16

Yes, it's compatible. It is not an error message, it's an update for Monterey so they work together. Allow the update.
