This is possibly an iOS problem. Apple have added a procedure to require
user interaction before connecting to linux computers, apparently due to
a confirmed exploit with using a linux based system disguised as a
charger, which can install arbitrary software on the iPhone, and make
calls without user interaction. Whilst not likely to be a common
problem, the fact that it could be done with something like a gumstix in
a charger case means that it is a real one.

There's a report on the exploit at

Title:
  [Sony VGN-SR29XN_S] Iphone with iOS 7 does not work on Ubuntu

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When plugging in an iPhone with iOS 7 - Currently BETA 4 I receive the following message on Ubuntu 13.04 :
  The Device "Nick's iPhone" is locked. Enter the passcode on the device and click "Try again".

  The iPhone reporting "Trust the currently connected computer?" Trust/Don't Trust.
