I was unable to import photos from my iPhone (using iOS 10) in Linux Mint 18. The libimobiledevice
and ifuse
that come with the distro didn't work.
The solution is to compile libimobiledevice and ifuse from source.
I forked this document from other Gists to document what works for me in Linux Mint 18. It worked for me on Linux Mint 18.3 with iOS 10.3.3.
