Can't connect just updated iPhone to just updated MBP?

We all know Apple hasn't been great recently with the latest updates,
but this must really take the podium. What a mess. Can't even decide what standard to use
across the full range of their BRAND NEW products? "Just works" my a@@.

They don't want you to connect it at all.

But in case you need to, they offer a wonderfully expensive USB-C to Lightning cable that you can purchase at your leisure.

You're supposed to use AirDrop. It just works. After you've restarted, cleared some strange cache, entered a shady terminal command and deleted your network settings on your $4000 of hardware.
