> getting Linux to talk to a relatively unheard of device called an iPhone 5s! It sure would be nice getting pictures and video off this damn phone so I can free up space!

I do it all the time. All it takes is to plug the phone in.

Answering the dead question, it's an iPhone 5s running the latest iOS. The only catch is that I have to plug it unlocked and tell it to trust my computer (running Ubuntu 14.04) when the prompt pops up. It imports pictures into Shotwell just fine. I also tested it with an iPhone 4 (not 4S) and it worked just the same.
