I've had success with newly installed 16.04.3 LTS following steps 8 - 11 given in #44 after installing the October 2016 ppa for 16.04 from Martin Salbaba. That is, my first 3 steps were:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:martin-salbaba/ppa+libimobiledevice sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade After retrieving my photos and before disconnecting the iPhone, I suggest idevicepair unpair fusermount -u x (where x is the "mount point"). One more note: I was running the Mate Desktop. When I connected the (unlocked) iPhone, the program "Shotwell" appeared. I did not want to use it. The alternate selection was Caja (Mate's file manager similar to Nautilus), but Caja was not seeing the phone. (The command lsusb was seeing the phone.) I selected "unmount" in the requester offering "Shotwell" just in case Shotwell did have access before I proceeded to use idevicepair. I seem to have a solution that is satisfactory for me -- especially because I want to have command-line access to the photos, and using idevicepair and ifuse makes the mounted location of the photos quite explicit to me since I specify the mount point. I do think, however, that many LTS desktop users will want something such as what Mate purports to offer. I also completely fail to understand why Apple thinks that lightening port access to the small user portion of the iPhone filesystem requires either SSL or TLS.
