@bookandswordblog Otherwise, connecting my iPhone through cable to my Linux box and "trusting" the computer results in a mount point in Ubuntu where it automatically opens my photos.
bookandswordblogbookandswordblog@scholar.socialAug 18, 2026, 11:37 PM@adriano what kind of cable do you use? Macs don't have the standard USB ports I think, do you need a cable with two ends with different plugs?

@bookandswordblog this one is a lightning-usb-c cable. I have an iphone and an ubuntu pc.

@adriano I have a cable like that for my oither charger, but I can see only docs for my frowser on the photo when I plug it in. maybe I need a different physical port?

@bookandswordblog searching a bit it seems I must have done some of what is described here, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1422940/how-do-i-mount-an-iphone-on-ubuntu-22-04 but I don't recall anymore.
