iPhone Mounting on Ubuntu 18.04

iPhone clearly dying. Apple cloud account overstuffed. What about those pictures? How to mount an iPhone 6 on Ubuntu 18.04 with thanks http://itsonlycode.blogspot.com/2017/07/linux-mint-mount-your-iphone-like.html and https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-iphone-6s-ios-11.html.

1) Connect ithing 

2) On ithing screen trust computer

3:
$ idevicepair pair
SUCCESS: Paired with device ...

NOTE: If you forgot to step 2, you get: ERROR: Could not validate with device 175e0db3db5e06bf3bd0f4a2eb302200762aecd1 because a passcode is set. Please enter the passcode on the device and retry.

4:
$ mkdir ~/mnt/ithing

$ cd ~/mnt/ithing

7:
ls
Books  Downloads       MediaAnalysis  PhotoStreamsData  Radio
DCIM   iTunes_Control  PhotoData      Purchases         Recordings

No idea what DCIM means but that's what the pics and vids have been under on every ithing and android I've ever used. Once complete, don't forget to unmount:

$ fusermount -u ~/mnt/ithing/
