Thanks so much, so just open those two and that's it. So iTunes recognised the phone after the mobile device installer, what do I need the the CoreTypes one for, what does that one do?
Based on its contents, I suspect CoreTypes.pkg provides icons, so that iOS devices appear nice in Finder, iTunes and Apple Configurator.

I’m going to have to (unfortunately, for compatibility reasons) restore an iPhone 11 on iOS 14 to the latest iOS 18 version. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro running… OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. iTunes hasn’t worked with more recent iOS versions in a long time.
The two pkg files liked above are also present in the seed catalog for El Capitan. Based on that, I assume that it would be possible, but I don’t have El Capitan to test.
link=$( plutil -p /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Resources/SeedCatalogs.plist | grep 'DeveloperSeed' | sed -e s/'"DeveloperSeed" => "'//g -e s/'.gz"'//g -e s/\ //g )
for file in $(curl -# $link | grep MobileDeviceOnDemand.pkg | grep -Evw '(MobileDeviceOnDemand.smd|MobileDeviceOnDemand.pkm)' | sed -e s/"<string>"//g -e s/"<\/string>"//g -e s/\ //g); do
echo $file
echo $file | sed -e "s/MobileDeviceOnDemand.pkg/CoreTypes.pkg/g"
done
