While I don't like how annoying Apple is with service upselling (iCloud, Music, Arcade), at least they moved iPhone backup from iTunes to Finder. So their local iPhone backup process is being maintained over time. I don't have issues with my computer (PC or Mac) detecting my iPhone. Generally need to make sure iPhone is unlocked after plugging it in. What is tough is the large size of my iPhone (X gb) and how small my Mac's HD is (2X gb).

I’ve changed iphones many times and the issue still persists for me. The only reliable way to get photos synced or iphone deteced in finder is to turn on airplane mode for some reason. Must be a bug with wifi syncing. You actually bring up another issue. There is no obvious way to backup iPhone locally to an external hard drive. So either pay the mac SSD storage tax or the icloud tax.
