Saving photos from iPhone 7

[Cudd Wudd]

I have an iPhone 7 through work, which I hand back next month when I leave. I have a lot of family photos/videos on it, which I would like to transfer/remove, but I’m struggling to figure out the best way.

My personal phone is budget android (Moto G5S). The only personal Apple product I have is a WiFi 2012 iPad, which I previously used all the time, but rarely do now as it has some annoying glitches and is outdated.

I have thought about going to somewhere like Boots and transferring everything to CD, but ideally I’d like it so I can access/view the photos/videos quickly/easily.

Can someone tell me if there’s an easy way to remove the photos etc. from an iPhone when I won’t have a new one, but still have easy access to view them (rather than just having them on some sort of external storage device)?

I’ve wondered about online storage, but I also have (through work) a Microsoft Surface Pro. I’ve only had it a few months (and hand back next month), but so far I’ve been v impressed by it and it’s really handy for remote working. I have therefore thought about buying one, or a new iPad (Pro?), and somehow transferring everything across if that is an option?

Thank you

Pretty sure you can just plug it into any old laptop/desktop PC and drag and drop the files off the phone. It is only more complicated trying to move stuff onto the phone.

Do you have Amazon Prime? Use the Amazon Photos app on the iphone if you do.

Or install Google Photos and back them all up to there.
On a PC you can just login to iCloud and download all your photos from there.
There is no trick to it, it is exactly how everything is designed to work.

Thank you very much for your replies, most appreciated.

I don’t currently have access to a PC or laptop and want to get something up to date ideally. However, the Google Photos app appears to have worked a treat, although there’s a lot to transfer so it could take a while! Google Drive seems to be doing something too, but viewing them seems much slicker in Google Photos. I don’t have Amazon Prime but good to know there’s another option, thank you.

Now I need to decide whether to splash out on a Microsoft Surface Pro or iPad Pro...Currys seem to have a good selection so may go and have a look tomorrow and see if one tempts me.

Thank you again
