iPhone keeps disconnecting when connected to laptop, everything else works in USB port. What's wrong?

The USB ports work with every other device except my laptop. I can plug in cameras and USB memory drives without any disconnection. However, when I plug in my iPhone into my Macbook Air 2015 it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting as if I am pulling the wire in and out.


I can connect my iPhone to all other laptops including windows but just not this Macbook Air.


Why does it do this?

If your iPhone works fine elsewhere, then it appears there's an issue with the MacBook. How long has this issue been happening for? Are there any new software updates available for the MacBook you haven't installed? it could be a software bug that could be resolved via software update, if the issue isn't going away with a simple restart of the MacBook.
