[PLUG] Trying to get my Apple Iphone connected to my linux computer

[American Citizen]

Hello:

Has there been anyone who has been successful in getting their Apple 
Iphone connected to their linux computer system?

I installed KDE Connect from the Apple Store, but it does not connect at 
all to my Apple Iphone 14 running the current ISO 18.3

I have a 107+ megabyte video which I need to transfer from the photos 
folder, but it is too big to email.

Any ideas? Do I need to post into the KDE forums and see if I can push 
people to address this problem?

My hundreds of photos in the Photo Folder need to be archived, but I am 
unable to even connect to the Iphone.

If you have been able to connect your Iphone to your linux computer 
(particularly for archiving purposes) please share how this was done?

Thank you!
