You can also try https://github.com/inflex/ideviceunback but you'll have to compile it on your own, preferably in Linux.

Extract photos from iPhone back up on windows 10.
You should be able to browse iTunes backups using 3utools. It's free. Other than that, https://github.com/inflex/ideviceunback - this should be able to "convert" those backups into human readable form.

Apple's APFS Migration: A Feat of Engineering
No smartphone these days gives you access at the mass storage level anymore (because it causes issues for concurrent access from the phone and computer, because there's often encryption etc.), so the underlying file system in this scenario is completely irrelevant and has no bearing on you being able to access the phone's data on Linux.
Android uses MTP or PTP (can't remember which) for that type of access, while iOS uses something proprietary, but there's a Linux implementation that worked reasonably well for me last time I had a Linux laptop: https://libimobiledevice.org/
