Importing to Photos v11

Until recently after my iPhone 15 Pro Max & Mac Mini M2 were updated to iOS & OS 26, I would see the iPhone when I plugged in a USB cable, and was able to import whatever photos I wanted. But now, Photos is not recognizing, seeing the iPhone when I plug it in! In Settings, and the sidebar, I am not seeing an option to Open Photos when connected. Even Image Capture does not see my iPhone! So, for now, there is no way to Import photos! Is there an iPhone setting I missed, or somehow changed?

I don't see any options in the iPhone Settings that apply...

(I've posted this on TMF's Apple group as well as Apple's Discussion groups, searched, not seeing an answer yet.)

After a Reinstall of Tahoe, no help..... Still not recognizing my iPhone in either Photos or a Finder sidebar, which also means it hasn't been doing it's Sync & backup for a while, I guess...Rebooted the iPhone again too, no change... So a hard fault somewhere, both Mac & iPhones are the latest updates...

I'll get back onto Support when I have more time...

Great news, I just tried a 3rd USB-A to USB-c cable, different from the prior 2 cables and it connects, allows my downloading into Photos, Syncing as well… So all is resolved.

Sadly a broken cable after it had been reliable for a long time...

I tried this 3rd cable while on hold to the Support line, a pleasant surprise!

Sometimes the first thing is the real problem! Why the 2nd cable also failed, is yet another mystery, must also have a problem..

Chopping both up!
