"How do i connect my iphone to my mac laptop?"

I assume this is not the first Mac laptop (1991). My answer will be for a MacBook Pro 2013 13-inch.

In the box for the new iPhone, you will find a white cord. One end is an old-shool USB-A plug that can connect to the computer (New MacBook Pro uses USB-C that needs an adapter). The other is a much smaller plug that can connect to the bottom (as in short side) of the iPhone.
