With every adult operating system, you can name the photos coming out of

There is a very simple solution: don't use iPhones but phones with
an "adult operating system".

That's really not the solution as it's the same when I hear people telling
immigrants to go back where they came from if they don't like how things
are in the United States.

Hope that wasn't meant seriously. A smartphone is not a lifetime device,
it is replaced every few years. And if you are not happy with your
current device, choose a different type next time.
If an immigrant could decide every 3 years in which country he wants
to live, then nothing is wrong with the advice: try a different country
next time if you are not happy with the USA.

Just to let you know, other adults on the Apple operating system newsgroups
have also complained about the file-naming conventions of iOS which
basically force you to log into Apple's mainframes to get decent names.

Sorry, but I don't understand your problem. You don't like the file-naming
on your iPhone. There are two easy solutions:
- don't use an iPhone   or
- rename the file to names you like
I suppose you already transfer the pictures to a PC for a backup.
Rename the pictures on the PC (there are many renaming tools available
or use a simple batch to do it). Select the pictures you want/need on
your iPhone and copy them back with the new names.
