Everytime I plug my iphone it, is says "a software update is required to connect to iphone 12 pro". I have the latest update on my mac. What can I do to get rid of that message?
If you see "Software update is required to connect to your iOS device" on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
You may need to update the software on your Mac in order for it to recognise your iOS device.
Click Install to download and install the software so your Mac can update or sync your iOS device.
