Comment 6 for bug 1718554

I wish to second the request of #5 that working access to photos on iphones be kept up to date in xenial. For the credibility of xenial's LTS status this should be done.

Up to the recent time of a new device with iOS 11, I had things working with iOS 10.3 using
Martin Salbaba's ppa for the packages libimobiledevice6 and libimobiledevice-utils.

Even going for a ppa raises unnecessary system maintenance work for something as basic as retrieving photos from a phone.

My impression is that there have been repeated stumbling blocks related to the issue of whether iOS wants ssl or tls. I would like to hope that ubuntu at runtime can decide to go either way even if iOS (which should be able to go either way) cannot. (Maybe this is an oversimplification.)
