Today I bought a new iPhone 16pro, I set it up and went to plug it into my 2022 MacBook Pro (currently on MacOS sequoia 15.5) with the charging lead provided, the phone charges but does not appear as a device, I have tried both charging ports and multiple charging leads, all do the exact same thing, charge the phone but does not have it appearing as a device that I can sync
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
Follow previous advise - First
Refer to Link Below from Apple on this very topic
If your Mac asks you to allow an accessory to connect - Apple Support
Excerpt from link above
When you use a new or unknown USB accessory, Thunderbolt accessory, or SD card with your Mac laptop with Apple silicon and macOS Ventura or later.
Is it possible the new iPhone would fall in this category >> " New or unknown " ?
I do not know, as I do not physically cable my iPhone to the computer
Worth a guess ?

If your Finder Settings sidebar option is checked...
is it a matter of moving your mouse to the right side and clicking the caret open(?)
I've tried all of the stuff from the link, still nothing.
The issue is nothing happens at all, the phone charges so it must recognise it's plugged in. but that's all that happens
Sadly not, I've tried that, the only device that appears still is my MacBook
Was the cable from the iPhone plugged Directly into the Computer port ?
yep, tried both ports
