Iphone Flashing in Macbook Finder

I have solved this issue. Plug your iPhone into the Macbook with an Apple brand cable. Pull up activity monitor on Macbook. Search "usbd" in the activity monitor. Click "usbd" and select force quit. If you do this a couple of times it will stop flashing and a solid connection should happen. This worked for me and many others.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.3

The contents of the iPhone could not be read. Click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings. My iPhone (XS, 16.3.1) cannot be connected to my Macbook. It is an issue of the iPhone, NOT the macbook. I know this because I have tried many different Macbooks. I also have tried: Different cables Connected the iPhone when it was turned on and unlocked Disconnected any other devices Tried with an iPad -> this works Different USB ports and different Macbook Reboot my iPhone Reboot my Macbook "Trust" the computer on both devices Checked System Information -> I can see an `iPhone` entry in the Hardware/USB tab Finder can recognize the phone, just not the details. I can see the iPhone model, the storage, the ios version Update IOS (I am now on 16.3.1) Update MacOS (I am now on Ventura 13.0.1)
