Mount iPhone in Debian/Ubuntu linux

To connect an iPhone to Debian or Ubuntu Linux, you need to perform the following:

sudo apt-get install ideviceinstaller python-imobiledevice libimobiledevice-utils libimobiledevice4 libplist2 python-plist ifuse

Unlock the screen and connect your iPhone (perform the 'Trust This Computer' part)

Check the output from dmesg:

dmesg | grep usb

Output:

Pair the device:

Then create a connection point (e.g., ~/iPhone) and connect the iPhone using ifuse:

mkdir ~/iPhone ifuse ~/iPhone

Now you can perform the necessary actions. After finishing, disconnect the iPhone as follows:

usermount -u ~/iPhone
