I have a new iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.1. Every single time I connect it to my iMac (running Ventura) I'm required to enter the phone passcode to get it to "Trust This Computer". This didn't use to happen with my previous phone (apart from the first time I plugged it in) and it's incredibly annoying. I've turned off the hotspot and reset the location and network settings, but it's still happening. Any ideas?
UPDATE - just been told by an Apple support person that requiring a passcode every time you start a sync or back up to your desktop/laptop is a deliberate iOS "feature" rather than a bug. Seems a completely unnecessary change that is also extremely annoying in practice. I read elsewhere someone speculating that this was a deliberate ploy on Apple's part to encourage users to back up to iCloud and hence pay for extra online storage space - can't think of any other reason why they would have done this.

What the trust settings on your device mean
When you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a computer or other device for the first time, an alert asks whether you trust the computer:
Trust this computer - every time
