Thank you, Brian.?
See, even if you can¡¯t give a detailed explanation, we have other who were concerned and several that went a head and install the requested ?update.?
Our knowledgeable ¡°resource¡± members explained that it was, even if a source was not cited.?

I've also seen this prompt a number of
times. I can't remember what OS's but it's been a number of them
(both macOS and iOS/iPadOS). And yes, it happened once when I
happened to plugin in my iPad first after a macOS update, but the
one install was sufficient for both my iPad and iPhone to be able
to be plugged in without the prompt (until the next macOS update).
I've always let it install and it doesn't seem to have caused any
problems.
I agree, it seems like this could be built into the OS
update/upgrade but it's been a separate install for quite a long
time, so maybe there's a reason it's not.

Robert, which OSes are you running on what devices?
You are the first one to say they have first hands on
experience. If you have mildly older devices and OS, that and
the offered explanation of what it does is the assurance that I
am looking for.?
This should have been written into the OS upgrade, not
written as a stand alone upgrade. A line or two of code could
have handled this and made it invisible. After all, what
triggered this thread was a minor OS upgrade. And it appears to
be not essential. It could have waited until the next upgrade.?
This sure isn¡¯t, ¡°it just works¡±. I miss Steve Jobs.?
Yes, Apple¡¯s goal or motto has become ¡°sell more hardware¡±,
and speed up the obsolescence. Rather than ¡°the computer for the
rest of us¡±, it has become sell them all a device.?
The System Prefs used to have a couple dozen items, but now
Settings include hundreds of choices, organized in a confusing
manner.?
And crippling bugs are more common in new releases.?

I hav had this pop up several times on my iMac. I¡¯ve always
installed the patch offered by Apple without incidence re
workings of applications. It then only reappeared on use of
iPhone connection on rare occasions after a system software
update. Install makes it go away.

Watching this with great interest as I have the
same issue. ?I have not tried to fix it for some time
living my iOS on 17.2 (in case newer iOS screws things
up more) ?and my Mac Pro is running 10.13.6 (17G14042)

I chose ¡°not now¡±. If I have or open a Finder

time I plug in the iPhone, the dialog appears.

Going back a couple of versions of iOS,
Photo.app started opening each time I plugged in
the phone. That was a change. The iPhone was
visible in the Finder window. After I updated to
18.4.1, Photo.app did not open, but the dialog
appeared. The dialog makes me think that the
upgrade fixed/ prevented Photo from opening, but
gives the unneeded dialog box.
