That is, unless you jailbreak them. While I for one have no issue with this, the reality remains that Apple has, for reasons unknown, not put out an iTunes customer for Linux distros. This can be a huge headache for iPhone users who want to use a Linux desktop, since it&#8217;s impractical to match up iPhones with Linux distros like Ubuntu. Along these lines, in case you&#8217;re thinking about how you can utilize an iPhone with Linux, here is a total guide that may help you:<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"understanding-the-problem\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Understanding the Problem:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The main problem, with utilizing an iPhone with a Linux system, is the fact that you just can\u2019t sync it. iTunes is the only software that a non-jailbroken iPhone will sync with, and\u00a0 it is not accessible for any Linux stages, yet. There are various libraries, for example, <strong>&#8220;libimobiledevice&#8221;<\/strong> that attempted to give clients a chance to adjust iPhones with Linux, yet not exclusively is it a bother to make them run, it doesn&#8217;t work for iOS 10. So on the off chance that you have an iPhone, and you&#8217;re utilizing a Linux framework as your everyday driver, you&#8217;re somewhat in a tough situation.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-about-some-wine\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>How about some Wine:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Wine (which is a recursive acronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer application that can allow a user to run Windows apps on a Linux system (most of the time). So my first endeavor at utilizing an iPhone with Linux was to run iTunes with Wine. I utilized PlayOnLinux as the front-end for the product, and afterward I discovered, that Wine won&#8217;t take into account USB pass-through, so it is extremely unlikely that an iPhone will match up with it. You could even now utilize iTunes for everything else, including dealing with your iCloud Music Library, however in the event that it doesn&#8217;t synchronize with an iPhone, there&#8217;s truly no utilization for it. Which conveys us to a workaround of sorts.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"owncloud-and-xampp-for-transferring-files-between-linux-and-iphone\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\"><strong>OwnCloud and XAMPP for Transferring\u00a0Files Between Linux and iPhone:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The first problem that we\u2019ll tackle, is\u00a0somehow enabling the transfer of files, and documents between an iPhone and a Linux desktop.\u00a0To do this, you can use something like OwnCloud, along with XAMPP on your Linux system.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>OwnCloud is a\u00a0<strong>self-hosted cloud server that you can access on your iPhone<\/strong>. It comes with a free plan, and is pretty much the best way to\u00a0be able to transfer documents between your iPhone and a Linux desktop. However, OwnCloud requires a server to run on, in the first place, which is where XAMPP steps in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>XAMPP is an <strong>easy way to get a LAMP server running on your Linux<\/strong>, Mac, or Windows system. Just be careful that you install a version of XAMPP running at least PHP 5.4, because OwnCloud will not work on anything below that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve cleared all that out, let\u2019s get started with installing OwnCloud, and XAMPP on our system. I\u2019m using a machine running Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak to do this, and the process should be similar for most other systems.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"installing-xampp-on-ubuntu-16-10\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Installing XAMPP on Ubuntu 16.10<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ll install XAMPP first, and set up a\u00a0folder where we can keep the OwnCloud files.
