This article explains how to transfer photos from your iPhone to your MacBook Air. What Is the Easiest Way to Transfer Photos From iPhone to MacBook Air? The simplest way to transfer photos from your iPhone to your MackBook is to make it automatic. You can do this by setting up synching with iCloud, which will allow you to access your phone’s entire photo library from your laptop. And once it’s set up, the shared library will update itself with every new photo. iCloud synching has its limitations. You have a maximum of 5GB of cloud storage to start, and will have to pay for a larger plan if you want to manage a larger amount of data. In order for syncing to work, you need to connect your iPhone to your MacBook.
How Do I Import Photos to My MacBook Air? The
second easiest way to transfer photos between your iPhone and MacBook is via AirDrop. This allows you to select specific pictures or videos and transfer them over individually or in batches, giving you more control over what goes where. For AirDrop to work, you’ll need to make sure both your MacBook and iPhone have Wi-Fi enabled, otherwise they won’t be able to find each other.
How Else Can I Import Photos to My MacBook Air? Another direct (if slightly slower than AirDrop) option for transferring photos between your devices is to physically connect your iPhone to your MacBook using your phone’s charging cable. Depending on the model of your iPhone and MacBook, your Lightning Cable may not be able to connect, in which case you’ll need an adaptor.
