Thanks but the issue is different: the laptop recognizes my iphone 11 but it starts and stops charging every few seconds. Same happened with my former iphone X

Hey Manfe,


Thanks for providing us with additional information!


It sounds like the issue might be coming from the cable or the USB port on the computer. Have you had the chance to connect your iPhone to another computer to see if the issue persists?


If the issue persists even with another cable or computer, we suggest that you contact Apple Support team for further assistance: Contact Apple for support and service


Have a great day!
