Apple is a renowned company that is known for their hunger to do things differently and in a unique way. Hence, how to transfer photos from iPhone to PC without iTunes might sometimes be such a drag.

Method 1: How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to iPhone Using iTunes

iTunes is the program that most iOS users are familiar with because it is the official tool to manage iOS device on a computer. There is a great 'backup & restore' feature in iTunes so you can use it to transfer content from one iPhone to another. However, one thing you should keep in mind is that the iOS version should be the same on old and new iPhone. If not, the restore function would fail.

Plus, if you still had the plan to use the old iPhone, then I suggest looking at the method listed below because the latest iOS will certainly slow down performance on old iOS device. This is a well-known secret in 2017.

Step 1: Install iTunes on the computer and connect old iPhone to computer.

Step 2: Once the iPhone is detected by iTunes, then click iPhone icon on the upper left corner. Go to Summary tab and click 'Back Up Now' button. Then iTunes starts to backup all content and settings on the old iPhone. This would take minutes or hours depending on how much data on the device.

Step 3: When the backup process is finished, eject the old iPhone and connect new iPhone to computer. iTunes should show the device name and all you have to do is go to Summary section.

Step 4: Click on 'Restore Backup' and choose the most recent backup file.

Step 5: Press the 'Restore' button again and all the files from the backup will be transferred to new iPhone.

Cons:
1. iOS version should the same on both iPhone.
2. Data on new iPhone would be erased after restore.
3. Time consuming than Method 2.
4. Low success rate.

Method 3: How to Move Photos from iPhone to iPhone/iPad with iCloud

iCloud is yet another official service that helps to backup and restore data on iPhone. You will need an active iCloud account in order to use the service and then follow the mentioned below steps to transfer the photos one iPhone to another:

Step 1 : Install iCloud Drive app on both iPhones. It is freely available on the Apple App store.

Step 2 : From your old iPhone, sync all the pictures to your iCloud account.

Step 3 : Now, open the app on your new iPhone and login using the same account information where you have saved the backup.

Step 4 : Open your iCloud account and find the pictures from your old device. You can selectively download the pictures on your new iPhone or you can download the full folder. Easy as that.

Cons:
1. Take hours or days if Internet connection is slow.
2. Newly synced photos not going to Photo app. You can only view it in iCloud Drive app.

Method 4: How to Send Photos from iPhone to iPhone without Computer

iCloud is only used on Apple device and it is not a good cloud storage option in many areas, at least in here. The download speed is very slow when comparing to other service like Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. If you were a fan of those services, then you can still use them to transfer photos across different devices. In this part, we will take Dropbox for example.

Step 1 : Download and install Dropbox app on old iphone.

Step 2 : Add photos to Dropbox app so they can be shared on other devices.

Step 3 : Once the upload process is done, install Dropbox app on new iPhone.

Step 4 : Sign in the same Dropbox account and choose the folder you want to download on new iPhone. After that, all selected files will be on your new iPhone automatically. However, this takes time.

Cons:
1. Only 2GB space is free. This is not enough for most of us.
2. Need a lot of time if Internet connection is not good.

Conclusion:

People will keep upgrading their devices with the arrival of the latest technology. However, no matter what, no data will have left behind on your old devices. Thanks to TunesBro PhoneTrans, transferring data couldn't be easier than that. Although, we showed how to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone but you can use the same tool to transfer music, videos, messages, contacts and other data from one smartphone to another.

For iPhone users, iTunes is the most frequently-used tool when they transfer photos to their phone devices. Nevertheless, it is not always applicable. In the situations where one is using a computer that does not have iTunes installed or one forgets the Apple ID or password, which, in another word, means iTunes is not available, he or she needs to find another way out. From another aspect, iTunes is not very easily-operated, and it has a big deficiency that it will automatically remove previous pictures stored in the Photo Library when you sync your iPhone even if you do not want to. In consideration of above circumstances, here I would like to share with you three kinds of free and fast ways to solve the problem.

Easy Solutions to Transfer Photos to iPhone without iTunes

1. Conventional but risky way
2. Powerful and handy application
3. Useful yet limited tool

Way 1: Jailbreaking

As we all know, Apple and Apple Store set extremely strict or even arbitrary limitations on the files that are to be downloaded in iPhone. iTunes is the only default program that allows data transferring to iPhone from computer. However, jailbreaking can allow users to remove restrictions on Apple’s iOS system and get root access to iPhone. In this way, people can manage and transfer files without the help of iTunes. After your iPhone is jailbroken, you can still use iTunes, App Store and other normal functions, such as sending messages and making phone calls. Given this, jailbreaking is an alternative that you can choose to import photos from PC to iPhone.

Cons: Jailbreaking may bring security, privacy and stability problems to iPhone. Some jailbreaking software may leak users’ private information, like device ID or location. Besides, it may result in instability of the phone system, and it has a possibility of turning iPhone into a totally useless “brick” if not handled well. Thus, to transfer photos to iPhone without iTunes, you need to take a little risk.

Way 2: Powerful Mobile Management Software

Apowersoft Phone Manager is a handy and comprehensive application in managing phone device by means of computer.

And you can export data in your phone to computer or import music, videos or pictures into your phone conveniently.

1

Download and install Apowersoft Phone Manager. Run the program and connect your iPhone via USB cable. Tap “Trust” button when a dialog pops up in iPhone.

2

You may have seen some other third-party applications on the internet that say they can also realize it. However, this phone manager software has many advantages that others do not have:

• It is very easily-operated even for new users.
