Apple is known for developing phones that are capable of taking good quality pictures. Many people prefer using iPhone over recent phones that enable you to capture high-quality pictures. As we all know, high-quality pictures consume too much space in your phone’s memory. In some cases, you may want to transfer photos on your Windows 10.
