IPhone never connects to Finder

Hey,


I've switched up 3 MacBooks already, all updated to BigSur 11.2.3 and my iPhone 11 ios 14.4.2 mwmf2za/a/


and my iPhone never syncs with finder, only offers me to restore it.

i did try to restore it once, no change.

I've always let him to trust one another.

I've gone through all the posts and couldn't find any solution.

I've restarted both, tried 5 different cables and different adapters of USB A to USB C - no change.

Finder pops up, I can see my iPhone, can access it, and only can restore it.


What can I do?
