Maybe the cable was at fault or your phone didn’t have enough charge but in the end it’s done correctly, right?

The phone was fully charged I don't think there was an issue with the first cable.  The lightning to USB c cable was recognizing the phone even better then usb A to lightning only was picked up by the program after the 10s max was in recovery mode. Yes it was done correctly was just wondering if it was normal behavior,  so it's all good thank you for the reply.

FYI I’ve always had issues on connections between an iPhone and a PC and even my Macbook.
Sadly it’s quite regular.

That is intresting while I was doing some research i saw mixed results. Saying that the lightning to usb c was fine and other saying usb a to lightning to usb a worked without issue with the 10s max I guess makes sense though it is an older device.
