There was a problem hiding this comment.
While I am generally against installing random packages on everyone's machines by default, this feels like it should be merged as most users would just expect connecting an iPhone for tethering to "just work".

Summary
Adds out-of-the-box support for Apple iPhone cable connections (both Personal Hotspot / USB tethering and native file/photo access) in Omarchy.
usbmuxd: Provides the USB multiplexing daemon and udev rules (/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules). When an iPhone is connected, udev automatically triggersusbmuxd.serviceon-demand and stops it when disconnected.libimobiledevice: CLI tools (idevicepair,ideviceinfo) and communication libraries required for device pairing and trust certificate verification.gvfs-afc: Apple File Conduit backend for GVFS, enabling native iOS document and photo browsing in Nautilus and other file managers without needing FUSE orifuse.Screenshot
