I’m planning to switch to a new iPhone soon. Can someone explain how long the iCloud photo transfer usually takes? I have over 2,000 pictures.
It really depends on your Wi-Fi speed and how many photos you have. For me, it took a few hours. Just keep both phones plugged in to avoid any interruptions.
I used the 'Transfer from iPhone' feature when I got my new phone, and it was super easy. Just followed the on-screen instructions, and everything transferred wirelessly. I didn't even need to wait long. It was a breeze compared to using iTunes!
I’ve always used iTunes to transfer my photos. It feels more secure but definitely takes longer because of the cable connection. Has anyone else noticed a difference in quality between iTunes and iCloud transfers?
I think iCloud is just as good. I haven't noticed any quality issues with my photos. Plus, I like the convenience of not having to connect to a computer.
