Hello, JaneOTaylor.


The specs for the iPhone 11 show this:


System Requirements

Syncing to a Mac or PC requires:

• macOS Catalina 10.15 using the Finder

• macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 through macOS Mojave 10.14.6 using iTunes 12.8 or later


Make sure that you have applied any available software updates (not upgrades) for your version of High Sierra.
