The iPhone, especially from iPhone 5 onward, can be a good replacement for a simple camera. However, photos can take up a lot of space on your device. If you have hundreds or thousands of photos on your iPhone, you probably don't want to tap them one by one to select them all. So what can you do? If you have a Mac, just connect your iPhone: it's very simple.
Note: This article assumes you have already saved every photo you want to keep to your computer or cloud before deleting anything.
To import all or selected photos into a Mac folder first, select them, choose the destination folder and click Import or Import All. Image Capture handles the transfer.
Other methods and paid utilities exist, but this post aims to keep the process simple and avoid additional costs.
