I don't know about iPhones but my one brush with Apple products was an 
iPod Shuffle. I've got several MP3 players. On Windows or Linux you plug 
them into the USB port, they look like a mass storage device, and you copy 
over your files. The Samsung Android phone works the same if I want to 
copy the photos.

With the Shuffle I had to install iTunes on Windows. afaik there never was 
a Linux version. Of course it wasn't as easy as pointing it to the 
directory of MP3s. It had to create its own structure and copy files into 
it. I think I can safely say that was one of the most fucked up, 
unintuitive, pieces of shit, er, software I've ever used.

Usually I'm content to say nobody ever wanted to pay me to write software 
for an Apple device and leave it at that but that experience was traumatic 
enough I won't even buy a MiniMac to play with. However when the company 
bought one for the ill-fated iOS project I was fascinated by the form 
factor and bought a Beelink SER4 mini. It came with Win11 but that lasted 
for a day before I overwrote it with Ubuntu.
