With my phone plugged into the computer, can my Mac update its software while I am still working on my computer at the same time?

I plugged my phone 11 into my Macbook air and it said I need the newest software update to connect to my phone. I am currently doing work on my computer and I am wondering if I can install the update and continue to work?

While the iPhone is getting updated the Mac/PC can be used for work other than anything to do with iPhone.
