I'm unable to Screen Mirror iPhone 12 Pro to my MacBook Pro

I start the process of setting up my iPhone 12 Pro to mirror on my MacBook Pro running Sequoia, and it won't get passed the screen below. iPhone is running iOS 18.0, both devices have Bluetooth and WiFi on, and both devices are signed in to the same iCloud (Apple) ID account. I have rebooted both devices. And yes, the iPhone is right next to the MacBook Pro and powered on. I've checked all possibly relevant settings I can think of (e.g., no VPN is running). I am in the U.S.

Any thoughts out there? Anyone else running into this?

The only solution that worked for me: Open settings. Go to desktop and dock. scroll down to widgets in desktop and dock. there I found iphone. Open iphone to the far right and there I saw two iphones listed. The one with the check mark was my old iphone, which I traded in for my iphone 15. I put a check amrk next to the new iphone and this error message disappeared and I was able to setup iphone mirroring. Maybe this will help someone, like it did me.
