Hope that wasn't meant seriously. A smartphone is not a lifetime device,
it is replaced every few years. And if you are not happy with your
current device, choose a different type next time.

If an immigrant could decide every 3 years in which country he wants
to live, then nothing is wrong with the advice: try a different country
next time if you are not happy with the USA.

Sorry, but I don't understand your problem. You don't like the file-naming
on your iPhone. There are two easy solutions:

- don't use an iPhone   or
- rename the file to names you like

I suppose you already transfer the pictures to a PC for a backup.
Rename the pictures on the PC (there are many renaming tools available
or use a simple batch to do it). Select the pictures you want/need on
your iPhone and copy them back with the new names.
