There are several ways to access and transfer photos from an iPhone to a Mac running macOS:

  • Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a USB cable. Open the Photos app on your Mac, and your iPhone should appear under the Devices section. You can then select the photos you want to transfer and click the Import button.
  • If you have iCloud Photos enabled on your iPhone and Mac, your photos will automatically sync between the two devices. To check if iCloud Photos is enabled, go to Settings > Photos on your iPhone and System Preferences > iCloud > Photos on your Mac.
  • You can also use AirDrop to wirelessly transfer photos between your iPhone and Mac. To use AirDrop, make sure both devices have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, and are within close proximity of each other. Then, on your iPhone, select the photos you want to transfer, tap the Share button, and select your Mac from the list of AirDrop devices.

With these methods, accessing and transferring photos from an iPhone to a Mac is quick and easy.
