https://libimobiledevice.org/
which is used by various file managers (Dolphin, Nautilus, etc), or ifuse
makes it available as a FUSE filesystem that can be accessed from anywhere.

(it's possible native MTP works for photo access without a driver - I've not
tried that)

1. Copying photos from iOS to Windows is easy
2. Going the other way is not 

Apple murdered interoperability.

While it's trivial to copy an iOS DCIM image or video from the iOS device,
one way only, to the Windows device, where Linux excels is two way file
transfer of not only photos, but almost anything on the iOS device.

You have to know a few tricks though - but once you know them - it works.

A driver is automatically installed on Windows when you plug in an iOS
device over USB - but without adding bloatware, you can't copy TO the iOS
device.

Worse, the bloatware requires the Apple ID of every device you wish to
connect to - and each and ever iOS users' password too. 

Fancy that.
Nothing  works in the walled garden when it comes to the real world.

By way of contrast, you can connect any Android device to any Windows PC to
then copy bidirectionally to almost anywhere on that Android device.

False.

You not knowing how to do something doesn't make it difficult.

MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) as present in Android, works perfectly in 
Linux, on several file browsers. I don't have an iPhone nor my friends, 
so I haven't tried there.

iFuse on Linux is what does all the read/write magic of turning the entire
iOS device into, essentially, a dumb USB stick.

I wish iFuse were ported to Windows; but it's not.

Dunno why though. Would love to know why if someone here knows more than I.

  AFAIK, the easiest method with iPhone/iPad devices is to use PTP
(Picture Transfer Protocol), not MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to access
the photo storage of the device, i.e. what is DCIM\Camera on Android. On
Windows, that will show the device as a camera, not a phone. If Linux
can - automatically - use PTP, then that should also work on Linux.

  Note however that the PTP protocol is only for pictures ('photos'), so
videos are probably not accessible.

  BTW, AFAIK, iOS does not support/offer MTP. If it did, there would be
no problem to connect an iPhone/iPad to Windows and all this iTunes c.q.
Apple Devices app hoopla would be unneeded for a simple USB connection.
would be unneeded.

AFAIK, Linux uses PTP if the phone (Android) decides to activate only PTP.

  That means that you *could* test if an iPhone is likely to work in
PTP mode: Just connect your Android phone to your Linux system and in
the 'USB settings' of the phone select 'Transferring images' (is PTP
mode) instead of 'Transferring files / Auto Auto' (is MTP mode).

  If your Linux system can then access the photos in DCIM\Camera of the
phone, it's likely that it can also can access an iPhone as a camera.

Oh, yes, my Android phone certainly works in this mode, but I almost 
never do.

  Of course you don't use it in that mode, I don't either. It's just a
*test* to determine if an *iPhone* is likely to work in the same way.
From your positive test result, it's likely that an iPhone will work as
well.

I just by chance tried it minutes ago, and of course it worked.

FWIW  if I connect my iPhone (8) to Linux (SuSE) it mounts DCIM 
 as a gvfs filesystem under gvfsd-fuse. In thunar it appears as a
 gphoto2: URL. So I see images and videos taken by the camera.
 Unlike with Android, that's all I can access.

Ah. Thanks, that's the information that was missing.

I don't know about Linux, sorry.

I do computer support for a living and I've had precisely one client in 
more than 25 years of doing this who had a Linux system.

So you don't serve companies that use Android phones?  You will also 
find Linux embedded in many devices, such as TV set top boxes, routers, 
industrial control systems, etc.

I don't consider a device with an OS that one never interacts with 
directly to have an OS that I support.

Just so you know whom you're dealing with, this Alan Baker Apple troll 
(who claims to "support" customers and yet has never even once used Windows
or Linux or Android) had insisted for weeks on end that it's physically
impossible to change any of the headers in a Usenet post - specifically he
swore over & over that it's impossible to add a spoofed news client header.

Who is *that* stupid?

He's insisted that simply by owning a BMW he knows everything about it, and
yet, he doesn't even know the difference between a bimmer & a beemer
(which, I might add, originated in the UK racing circles).

Who is *that* stupid?

Speaking of racing circles, this Alan Baker moron claims to be an expert in
racing such that he claims he "teaches" racing - and yet - he has no idea
what curves are called. To him - all curves are exactly the same in all
ways.

His IQ, if it's even 40, would be overstating his ability to think.

There's a reason he's one of fewer than ten people I've plonked in decades
on Usenet. He simply disputes everything he doesn't have any knowledge of.

Which is everything.

Just watch.

I've never insisted anythign of the kind.

1. I claim I teach racing...because I teach racing. Last year I was 
chairman of the Race Drivers Committee of the Sports Car Club of BC.

<https://web.archive.org/web/20230422005048/https://www.sccbc.net/about-sccbc/race-drivers/>

"Alan Baker" there? That's me.

'The Race Drivers Committee organizes and operates the SCCBC Race Driver 
Training Program. The driver training program is an important part of 
preparing to enter the sport of racing at Mission and is a prerequisite 
to acquiring a Novice race license. The twice annual Race Driver 
Training program provides unparalleled instruction on handling vehicles 
under extreme conditions. For more information, visit the Race Drivers 
Training Program page.

Membership on the Race Drivers Committee is by invitation only. The 
committee is comprised of some of the best racers in British Columbia. 
Most committee members have won championships in their class while 
others have done consistently well over the years and have proven 
themselves capable of excelling in all race conditions.

2. I've never claimed "all curves are exactly the same in all ways."

Linux users don't need constant hand-holding.
