    I just plug a cable from my iPhone to my Linux mint laptop and view/transfer what photos I want through my file browser… seems real easy.

      You could use KDE Connect and do it wirelessly as well. Who needs cables for anything but charging these days?

        I use the cable to charge my phone. Am I the only person still doing this?

          I was mostly joking, but KDE Connect has made phone-to-PC transfers much more convenient for me. I’ve only tried it between Android and Linux, but once connected, it basically nounts my phone as a drive that I can browse or copy/paste to and from.

          Generally, I only use a cable to charge, and I rarely need/want to transfer files at the same time as I want to charge.
