Access iPhone storage

First you have to install some libraries and ifuse:

sudo apt install libimobiledevice6 libimobiledevice-utils ifuse

To be able to connect the iPhone you have to pair it. Maybe you have to perform this command twice (once before and once after you pressed "trust" on your iPhone):

idevicepair pair

Then you have to mount the iPhone storage:

sudo mkdir /media/iphone
sudo chown $USER /media/iphone
sudo chgrp $USER /media/iphone
ifuse /media/iphone

Finally you can access it - e.g. with the file browser thunar:

thunar /media/iphone

Before unplugging the iPhone, unmount the storage:

ifuse -u /media/iphone
