Troubleshooting:

Turn your iPhone on and unlock it -> enter the passcode.

Go to Settings -> set Auto-Lock to Never.

Connect your device to your computer using an Apple USB cable & try also another USB cable.

(macOS) Make sure your Mac has the latest version of macOS and the latest version of iTunes.

(Windows OS) -> Make sure your Windows PC is up to date & also iTunes.

Check the Wi-Fi connection.

Turn Off Hotspot.

Turn Off or remove VPN if necessary.

Disable all AV & Firewalls temporarily.
