In most cases in the past, an "Anti-Virus" software blocked the contact to Apple servers. If you have any software of this kind installed or an active VPN, disable or deinstall the software and try again to restore your iPhone.

It sounds like there's an issue with the phone itself. It would be advisable to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar to have the phone tested and for possible service options. If the battery is the original battery which came with your phone, it would most certainly be failing by now and failing batteries cause issues.

Thank you but the same error repeats after uninstalling McAfee and rebooting PC. I'm afraid Apple did not complete testing iOS 27 on iPhone 11 Pro Max.
