Let’s try a few different methods:
First, unplug the cable and check for dirt or damage.
If every looks good, then try plugging it into another port on your Mac.
If that doesn’t work, then try the following methods on your Mac.
First, click the menu (upper-left corner of the screen), then click Restart…
After your Mac restarts, plug your iPhone into your Mac and see if that solves the issue.
If not, from the menu bar at the top of the screen, click Finder ▷ Settings…
Under the Finder Settings dialogue box, click Sidebar, then under Locations, make sure CDs, DVDs, and iOS Devices has a checkmark. ✅
Press Command ➕ W to close the dialogue box.
If that doesn’t help, then click the menu (upper-left corner of the screen), then click Force Quit…
From the dialogue box, click Finder ▷ Relaunch.
If that doesn’t help, then click the menu (upper-left corner of the screen), then while holding down the option key, click System Information.
Under Hardware, click USB and check if your iPhone shows up.
If it doesn’t appear, then it could require service, however; let’s see if this issue happens in Safe Mode:
Unplug everything except the power cord from your Mac, then:
If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode:
Leave safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then try to reproduce the issue.
If the issue doesn't return, it might have been resolved by the other things that safe mode did at startup, such as checking your disk and clearing caches.

What version of macOS are you running on that MacBook Pro?
The 2017 MacBook Pros shipped with Sierra. You need High Sierra or Mojave to manage an iPhone 15 Pro using iTunes; Catalina or later to manage an iPhone 15 Pro using the Finder.
If you're still on Sierra, you won't be able to manage the iPhone until you upgrade macOS. Even if you're on High Sierra, you may have problems. (People on these forums seem to have rather mixed experience with High Sierra and iPhones running iOS 17. That combination should work, but it doesn't mean that it always does …)
macOS 13.6.5 (22G621).
Still not recognizing the phone. However, I should mention the phone is being charged when I connect to my MacBook Pro, even when not showing in Finder.
Did you find a way to fix it ? I’m having the same issue ?
