Lightroom Classic 12.4: Importing from iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17.0.3 fails to show image previews

Question

Each time I try to import photos from my iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17.0.3 into my Lightroom Classic 12.4 library, the preview of the on-device images will show up as empty rectangles. Strangely enough, if I switch my import source to something else (e.g. a local directory), then back to my iPhone, more previews would show up. If I repeat this dance several more times, eventually most, if not all, of the previews would be visible.
 
This is clearly a bug. Lightroom Classic is able to read the previews, just not the first time.

It looks like you are looking in Devices, what if you look in Files?

I just posted in another thread, but basically it's some sort of bug. I am on Sequoia and M4 MBP. I cannot generate any previews or thumnails to newly imported photos at all. I made sure all the permissions are granted for Lightroom, still no go. Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 So frustrating.
