adorSaving pictures from iPhone 12 to laptop
My phone is maxed out with pictures from our previous travels. I would like to save it on my laptop, then clear the pictures so I can take some new ones on our future trips.
When I had my older iPhones, I was able to just plug in the cable to the phone, then to my laptop. But this iPhone 12 will not let me do that. It will not even open up when plugged into my laptop.
Any special tricks or way on how to do this?

sigmonkeyUse the "Photos" app.
Plug your USB cable in laptop and phone, and make sure your phone is unlocked.

cslingerPlug phone in
Open file explorer
Open the phone
Do a search on the phone for *.jpg and *.mov
Cut and paste the photos as needed

erj_pilotI tranfer all the pictures from my phone to Google Photos and then can view them on either my iPhone, iPad or desktop/laptop.

EdmondI purchase 200 GB of storage for $3/month to have all my pictures stored on the iCloud

henryazThe Image Capture app (included with macOS) transfers photos from phone to computer nicely. And you can transfer them to whatever folder on your computer that you want, rather than just to the Pictures app. Phone has to be plugged into the computer and unlocked.

adorI do have older window version in my laptop. Is that the reason why? New iPhones will not work with older version of the windows? Sorry folks. Im not that technical. Maybe I should ask my son to give it a try using his newer laptop.

DanHHe would need the iTunes program to manage photos on his iPhone 12. Otherwise, he could probably just email them over.

bionic218Another route to consider. You can open texting on the iPhone, put your email in as the recipient of the message. Attach photos. Send.
Go to your email on your laptop, open, view and verify photos, save them as jpeg or mov files on the laptop.
This will work, but can be time consuming and cumbersome depending upon your internet speed and volume of photos.
