What if you want to plug any phone you want into any Windows or Linux PC

Only a tiny number of people want to do that.

 
True. And it can be done wirelessly anyway. There is absolutely no need to
plug it in via USB.
 
You use the "Connect To Server" option in the Files app. Enter the IP address
of your Windows PC, then you select the share (drive, folder, whatever) to
connect to. Move whatever files you want, in both directions.
 
That the clueless trolls don't know how to do it, does not mean it can't be
done.

Nice tip. It's a been years since the last time I did need to share a file
directly, but I'll remember it now.

Dunno about Linux. It may work, but I have never tried it because I have no
need for Linux here. But Apple does not need to support Linux anyway, since so
few people use it.

It's simply a samba share which linux can do natively.

Linux is not "the real world".

Er, what? It runs practically half the internet.

Certainly the number of
iPhone/iPad owners who also use Linux is near zero.

I'm one of the non-zeroes.

And of course, this will work with any Windows PC on the network, regardless
of how it is connected to the network.
