As a Linux desktop user but Apple phone user, I do the same thing, so I can save the photos to my NAS, using ipairdevice/libimobiledevice/ifuse et al. to do it. Best part? Apple still spams me that my photos aren't backed up, because I'm not using iCloud. Is there a way of disabling that? Nope, they'll forever bother me about this, thanks.
> It really does seem like nobody at Apple is actually using any of the software they're releasing. Its just such shoddy quality control!
I think this is the crux, there are no humans with brains doing QA anymore. Since I got my iPhone 12 Mini, up until yesterday when I last used it, CarPlay still feels like it's worth risking my life every time someone calls me while I use the navigation. Not a single person could have tried this at Apple, because who would think it's a great idea showing a large avatar across the screen, over the navigation, as soon as someone calls? Absolutely bananas the direction Apple went as soon as Jobs disappeared, shame really.
- aa-jv 10mo agoI use Image Capture.app to manually retrieve my photo's - which normally works fine unless I forget to create a new folder for the task, and instead import into the older folders - which often means I overwrite prior photo's and lose data! Its so freakin' frustrating that, in the rush to get rid of files and folders from the users perception of their own personal filesystems, Apple has made it worse to maintain things manually.
