If it does I don't know how to find that out. I will check on Dell's Website and see what I can find out.
I noticed with the phone plugged in during boot up that there is power to the phone and then some time during starting up after grub menu it turns it off.
I don't know if that helps any. Can some log files help with that?

No that didn't work.
I am wondering if it could be a systemd thing?
When I am watching the terminal after grub starts (it goes by so fast) wish I could step through it a line at a time.
It says something about systemd hotplug I think and then the battery charge indicator on the phone goes off.
Does this help at all with somewhere different to look?
Thanks for hanging in there with me on this.
As part of getting journal logs to get created I had to install systemd-sysv
and guess what. Not only do I have logs but the iPhone is seen now.
I got the error:
Unable to mount Documents on Dcihon iPhone
Unhandled Lockdown error (-3)
SUCCESS: Unpaired with device b8b17f6af48e208ef78e1e31fd5a6dbe923ab3cf
SUCCESS: Paired with device b8b17f6af48e208ef78e1e31fd5a6dbe923ab3cf
after a couple of attempts and trusting the iPhone
However when I click on the folder in caja the Unable to mount Documents error still comes up.
Going off to do some more research.
I now see iPhone in caja but nothing is in the folder.
Documents folder still throwing that error.
I am going to install some media player.
Not sure which one works best with an iPhone.
Any suggestions?
Apple goes to great lengths with each new version to make it difficult to access their hardware with anything but their own software. This has been going on for years...you might find people that have figured out how to do it for the iPhone 7 on other Linux forums and bring it over to Debian.
I think the library in Stretch that might get you started is libimobiledevice6. But maybe Apple has broken that with the 7 and you need to get a newer version. The search engines await you.
Library hint: install Synaptic and apt-xapian-index, and search for "iphone"
