Would like to sync all the photos on your iPhone but don't want it to tell you the cloud storage is full while using iCloud? It's time to look for something without storage limits.
When it comes to smartphones, iPhone is certainly a revolutionary and magical product. And every time when you've got a new iPhone, you may want to transfer your photos from the old iPhone to the new iPhone since for most people, photos are always synonymous with precious memories. They'll want to keep them at all costs.
Try other quick ways to transfer photos to new iPhone without iCloud.
Usually, if you search online about how to transfer photos to new iPhone, you will find the first official method that pops up is to use iCloud, a built-in feature on every Apple device. However, iCloud only offers each user 5 GB of free storage, which means you may receive the notification all the time, telling "Your iCloud storage is almost full." It's pretty annoying, forcing you to look for other efficient ways to transfer photos from old iPhone to new iPhone without iCloud.
Therefore, in this guide, we've gathered 4 convenient ways to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone without iCloud. You can also choose a useful and handy tool - iPhone Data Transfer that lets you transfer iPhone pictures to another iPhone / iPad or computer all at once or selectively.
As we mentioned before, iCloud is not very convenient for photo transfer if all your iPhone photos are more than 5 GB. In that case, you can choose another functional software, iTunes, also from Apple, with more features.
iTunes does not directly transfer photos from one iPhone to another but to create a strong connection between your iPhones with a computer. In other words, it imports photos from your old iPhone to computer, and then sync them to your new iPhone. That way, you don't have to worry about running out of iCloud storage or not being connected to a strong internet.
Note: iTunes works on both Windows PC and Mac based on macOS 10.14 and the earlier. It also helps if you'd like to transfer iPhone photos to an iPad.
