Now, for some of us it might be pretty annoying that the Photos app automatically opens when we connect out iPhone. Especially when we're just connecting our iPhone to charge.
With this command line (Terminal) statement you can disable this feature:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool true
To re-enable it:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool false
