When I attach my iphone X via a lightning cable and then open "finder", the iphone flashes in and out of view several times a second at regular intervals.
I see that over 150 others have this same issue so I don't think it's my devices or cables. I have tried multiple cables. I'm running mac os ver 11.1 and it seems itunes has recently disappeared from my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014).
iPhone X, iOS 14

Thanks very much! Trying a different USB port on my macbook worked.
