Any Linux "should" (maybe) recognize the iphone as MTP or PTP device to 
transfer photos.  However, photos and movies in HEIC formats won't be 
"seen".  For full access you need the following packages:

libimobiledevice
usbmuxd
ifuse

A nice wrtite-up is here:

Note that third party iphone lightning cables, while ok for charging off 
a wall wart, may not work reliably.
