For whatever reason, iPhone 5 devices (and maybe more) are not automatically mounted like they were for me in Fedora 16.
After much research, I did the following to mount an iPhone 5 manually.
# yum install libimobiledevice # idevicepair unpair&& idevicepair pair
dmesg then had something like this in it
usb 3-2.4: new high-speed USB device number 85 using xhci_hcd [ 559.894437] usb 3-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12a0 [ 559.894456] usb 3-2.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 559.894458] usb 3-2.4: Product: iPhone [ 559.894460] usb 3-2.4: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

I then mounted the device using ifuse as follows.
$ mkdir iphone $ ifuse -ua10733b8ceb1656487ee7cdf532caad722243961 ./iphone $ cd iphone $ ls AirFair Books Downloads iTunes_Control PhotoStreamsData Safari Airlock com.apple.itunes.lock_sync HighlandPark PhotoData Purchases ApplicationArchives DCIM iPod_Control Photos Recordings
I could then access the iPhone mountpoint in Dolphin or from the command line session as I desired.
I hope this helps someone.
I hope this procedure becomes unnecessary in Fedora 18 and iPhone 5s are mounted automatically.
