A Software update is required to update your iPhone.

I DON'T want to upgrade my MacBook Pro M1 to Sequoia after reading about the issues folks are having with USB devices, NAS Time Machine, Networking, etc. I DID update to the latest version of Sonoma 14.7.1 hoping that would resolve the issue. it didn't. I can always upgrade the iOS on my iPhone 14 Pro but I've always let the MacBook deal with the update since it will backup locally before an update. Has anyone else seen this message? I've rebooted several times after updating the iOS.
