This is a correction to what I originally posted, after trying my own
advice.
This was used under Ubuntu Studio 20.04.4.
For reasons I don't pretend to understand mounting the iPhone as a USB
device and opening File Managers works sporadically but frequently. At
this point it is not working.
The workaround was to use "ifuse" and "libimobiledevice" instead. The
former was already installed, the latter had to be installed with "sudo
apt install libimobiledevice".
Once this was accomplished I executed the following as suggested by
AskUbuntu:
idevicepair validate
If a SUCCESS message does not result execute
idevicepair pair
and get that message.
Then execute (assuming "pics" does not exist)
mkdir ~/pics && ifuse ~/pics
and the iPhone will be mounted. This uses the "pics" subdirectory as a
temporary directory in order to make certain the iPhone is dismounted
properly later (see below).
Quite a bit more is visible than is usual; the images were found in
/home/<User ID>/pics/DCIM/107APPLE/
If you execute
fusermount -u ~/pics
the iPhone is unmounted or to both unmount and remove the "pics"
directory execute
fusermount -u ~/pics && rmdir ~/pics
The reason for doing this is that just unplugging your phone does not
correctly dismount it from the Ubuntu side; the dismount is necessary
and the "rmdir" makes sure it was dismounted.
Most of this is copied straight out of the AskUbuntu comment labeled
"Historical Workaround".
