    This is still a struggle today.

    Want to put a file on your iPhone or iPad from a non-mac? Good luck without some 3rd party app.

      Good luck doing any file management on an iPhone or iPad tbh. Tech companies nowadays seem desperate to make people forget how computers work.

      On my Linux installation, I just plug it in, “trust” the PC, and I can open it in my file explorer as I would any other USB storage device. Do you need a 3rd party app to do that on Windows?

      Great point. It’s infuriating that the only inbuilt non-Apple remote file access method in iOS is SMB3, for example.

      Edit: downvotes? Is my technical information out-of-date or something?
