I'm an Android user thinking of getting an iPhone, and I see articles
about apps that let ppl share files with their PCs, and I'm wondering
why is there such an app? If I plug an iPhone into my PC's USB port, do
I not get access to the iPhone's filesysten?
No. All you see are photos and videos from the camera.

So you don't need to go there.
Apple likes their walled garden. The article below mentions iTunes.
The OP didn't mention his PC's OS. iTunes runs on Windows. Maybe runs
under WINE on Linux. By its name, not sure if it only allows access to
media folders, or to all folders. Never bothered with anything Apple.

Well, iOS is clearly off-topic as VanguardLH's first answer hints.
So I'll just say, as someone who uses an Android tablet, an
iPhone, Linux and Windows PCs (though not a Mac) that the iOS is
the most difficult to get stuff into and out off and and between
apps - by design - especially if you don't want to use a cloud
service such as Dropbox. I often use FTP.
But forget iTunes.
