placing iphone on top of another iphone I placed my iphone on top of my husband's iphone accidentally to compare size. A message popped up that says the iphones connected. What does that mean?

In iOS 17 what does the black "iPhone Connected" banner mean? I have two iPhones, named "iPhone 12" and "iPhone 14 Pro Max", respectively, one for work and one personal, and both are signed in with my Apple ID. I've just upgraded them both to iOS 17. Now when I stack them to put them in my pocket, if they are both unlocked, there's a tone, and then a black banner at the top of the screen on the 14 says "iPhone 12 / connected" and a black banner at the top of the screen on the 12 says "iPhone 14 Pro Max / connected". If I click on either banner nothing happens. If I swipe it in any direction it goes away. The tone is annoying and and if the iPhones are doing something (maybe syncing something?) Or are they telling me they are ready to do something, and if so, what? I wonder if this behavior is related to the feature for exchanging contacts with another user by bringing the phones together, but since both of these phones are mine that doesn't seem applicable. What is this behavior and what purpose does it serve?

Ongoing device setup on iPhone 16 Pro Max I bought a iPhone 16 pro max last Saturday 12/21, and up until today 12/27 the ongoing device setup is still there. It disappeared a couple days and then appeared again. When will this go away, and is this normal? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can you explain with more details what your issue is? It's not completely clear with what you've told us so far.
