Trust this computer

I'm going through troubleshooting this for a Mac user at work complaining about it, and I've not been able to find any real reference from Apple, but it appears that it may be a case of iOS now requiring the Trust prompt every time you connect to USB tethering - i.e. it's expected behavior when tethering. I only learned this because of somoene replying to one of the generic articles you see about it saying that they should have mentioned this in the article.

I haven't yet turned up any additional information to verify that , but at least knowing that someone has said it might at least point to this being something that can't be changed. I'm going to keep digging, but I thought it might be worth letting you in on my lack of progress to find out if there's a way I can turn it off.

So I think this is such an edgecase, the apple engineers don’t pick this up since it doesn’t affect majority of users... But apple wasn’t like this before (don’t know if it had to do something with Jobs), how I feel is that apple used to go all the way to have these fixes for the minority of power users that would really appreciate the effort and workings of the product. almost every edge-case was thought about and everything was delivered working (most of the time). This has detoriated over time and we’re experiencing the effects of them focussing more on the masses and bringing stuff out while ignoring the minor things that do have a major impact for some of the power users.

But who am I kidding, we’re complaining about clicking a pop-up.. I can live with that and didn’t throw my phone away yet, because there is still no alternative.

I have the same too, switched today to a new laptop and phone and still same (macbook pro 15 2019 with iphone 11 pro).
