I can plug my iPhone into a USB port and it shows up in Windows Explorer
right away (after I hit 'Allow' on the phone).  At that point I can
mostly treat the iPhone as any other storage device.
 
Can you plug your Android phone into your Debian system and read the
picture files just as easily?

Yes.

In fact, you just reminded me that I bought a USB-c cable to back up
my phone's images.  Plugged it in, set the Pixel 7 pro to "data" (ptp),
and it appeared in the File Manager.

I'm running an rsync now.  To do that, you have to know where the mount
is, which is under /run/user.  (It's in the gvfs directory, being a gvfs
mount.)
