"Enter passcode to trust this computer" every time in order to sync after updating IOS

Since updating my iPhone  last week to ios16 every single time i connect my iPhone to my iMac i need to "Enter passcode to trust this computer" in order to sync. I understand this should happen the first time you sync after updating but not every single time. 


I will connect the iPhone, go through the steps to "Trust This Computer', sync the iPhone, eject the iPhone, unplug it, then plug it right back in and get the 'Trust This Computer' alert yet again. Per Apple's support this should only happen "If you choose not to trust a computer".


About the 'Trust This Computer' alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

"If you choose not to trust a computer, you block its access to content on your device. You'll see the trust alert every time that you connect your device to that computer."


I followed the steps on the support article to "Reset Location & Privacy" and "Reset Network Settings" and still have this issue. I have spoke to several Apple Support reps on the phone who have agreed you didn not previously need to 'Trust This Computer' every time but were not able to resolve my issue. 


Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas for not having to 'Trust This Computer' every time?


iPhone 6, iOS 12

Hi oneal718,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you're being asked to trust the computer after allowing this access. Since you have followed all publicly available steps in About the 'Trust This Computer' alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, it would be best to continue to work directly with Apple on a solution.
