# First add this module to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
# ...
# imports = [ /path/to/iphone.nix ];
# iphone.enable = true;
# iphone.user = "yourusername";
# ...
# Then rebuild system. Attach iPhone via cable, open terminal and run command `iphone`
# It will fail, but there will occure a dialog on your iPhone to "trust this computer"
# Press OK there and run `iphone` again. If it succeeds it will open a freshly mounted folder
