It's a slippery slope though. Unless you own a mac or pay subscribe to icloud storage tranferring photos and other files off your phone is gonna be a pain. Also, unless you get a mac with enough storage space it's also gonna be a pain because iphotos doesn't support direct transfer to external drives, so you gotta use image capture which is ridiculously barebones.
Wait you can't transfer images directly to external harddrives?? Honestly I genuinely wonder why people put up with this shit
On macs, only with image capture, which is very subpar
No wonder they make people pay so much for extra storage loool
