I cannot update my iPhone 7 ... even while connected to my iMac.
I shut down the iMac this morning, allowed software update (while phone connected to computer): thereafter, phone unresponsive.
I do NOT want to hit restore. Phone is unresponsive, even power cable doesn't seem to register as connected.
iPhone 7, iOS 13

I suffered a catastrophic failure, caused by internal device malfunction. Eventually found this: I found my problem: my iphone had a catastrophic failure because it was manufactured in China. https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/iphone-7-no-service
certain iPhones made in China had a problem: my serial number matched. “Bring to Apple Store for replacement”. I went immediately because I cannot work without my phone. They took it, restored to factory-settings: “here: fixed!”... lost all my data and same crappy device. Happen again?
I’m so mad right now. Apple just continues to disappoint.
