There is no real need to plug an iPhone or iPad into your MacBook though.
- Lammy 7y agoHow else am I going to get my photos off my iPhone without uploading them to Apple's cloud service? Even their KB tells you to connect it via USB: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302#importmac https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302#importmac
- ctdonath 7y agoWhy the "without"? $10/mo (for 2TB) and the photos are promptly backed up, and transferred to your Mac. Full-res, backed up remotely, stored locally. Deliberate transfer becomes "already there".
- Lammy 7y agoI don't want my data in the hands of any cloud service. I'm sure theirs works well between all their products for you and many others, but it's just not for me. :)
