    Is it possible to use exiftool to convert my photos and videos taken with an iPhone into the format that Android uses, in other words:
    1. Read date/time that the image or video was captured
    2. Rename the filename using the date and time text as the filename
    3. In case there are multiple photos taken at the “same” time (e.g. burst photos or if my wife and I take pictures at the same time) – then sequential numbers are appended to keep the images with unique filenames and none are lost/deleted/overwritten
    4. Perform the above in a batch on 12,000 photos and videos
    5. Anyone can show me the command line to do the above?

    See this example under the Renaming section of the exiftool docs. If you search the exiftool forums you'll find many more examples.
