You can back up yourself using the native encrypted backup format using the CLI on Linux/Windows/macOS using https://libimobiledevive.org https://libimobiledevive.org idevicebackup2 Using ifuse from them too you can read the SQLite database the Photos app uses, see things like the on-device processed metadata (including recognized faces, tho obviously not the face data from FaceID). Using this I made a script to only transfer only favourited photos for my girlfriend; https://gist.github.com/aurorabbit/592bbc76df317f86c1a6ef64cc21244d https://gist.github.com/aurorabbit/592bbc76df317f86c1a6ef64c...
