I have an iphone 12 mini and when connecting to my macbook pro via the usb cable, it is charging but not mounting.
Not mounting in Finder
Not mounting in Music App
Not mounting in photos App
I have tried restarting the Mac, and also the IPhone.

Ok after chatting to apple support online, one workaround seems to be to create a new account.
After creating a new user I was able to login as that user and mount the iPhone from the Finder and also from the Music app (not Photos) without any issue.
After switching back to the main account i was able to view the mounted iphone as expected in both music and photos app.

Photos is a digital asset management application. It's not a backup app nor a backup location.
Please read the following user tip and restate your question/problem in detail:

After a system update have you every gotten this notification?
Did you install the update to access your iPhone?
No I did not knowingly install any update as my I only have just under 2 GB available and update requires over 6 GB.
Updates are set to automatic though.

To where?
That's a mobile device system designation, not a location.
Sorry, I don't understand your question.
iOS refers to a mobile device system, not a location.
How are you backing up your photos?
