    Doesn't it appear strange that with all the advancements in technology you can't just plug in your iPhone to the computer and transfer a word document file.

      Apparently they want everyone connected to the cloud.
      I found another way, by copying my files and sending them via email back to myself.

    Fantastic. Recently purchased my first iPhone (always has Androids) and have been watching other videos to learn how to use. But all the videos on this process had me using iTunes (I didn't want to pay monthly fee), using VCL, etc. This is the easiest and BEST way to transfer my files from window PC to iPhone. Thank you so much from an old man. (I'm 75 years old and still learning).

      @@famousmwofficial8046 But you shouldn't have to get a Mac in order to be able to access ALL your files on your iPhone. Also Macs don't have the longevity you think. You can't upgrade anything on a Macbook. Ram is build in to the board, the SSD is built on to the board so upgrading your SSD or Ram is extremely hard and they made it impossible to be able to repair it without being overcharged at a mac store. Only recently are they giving in to the Right to repair movement. Also apple cares more about looks than efficiency and performance. Their processors would throttle down because it got too hot which would lower speeds on your laptop all because they cared more about how thin your macbook was and not about proper airflow. They also purposely slowed down older Iphones with secret updates to make people think they needed a new iphone because theirs was too slow now. They got busted for that it was a big scandal. My laptop that is similar in specs to my friends Macbook smokes his macbook in performance. The only good thing a Macbook does is it does have good battery life up to a point. However I would put my older lenovo laptop up against any macbook on performance and battery life.

    • @arstgkneio
      @arstgkneio Рік тому +2

      That’s kind of the point. Apple deliberately makes this stuff easier if you’re performing these operations between two apple devices and more difficult if one of them is a non-apple device. They’re trying to incentivize you to buy in to their ecosystem. Airdrop only works natively (ie without downloading a 3rd party app) between apple devices and if i’m not mistaken it can utilize bluetooth as well as wifi to transfer files.

    There is a game i love but it doesn't have cloud saving nor accounts, if i lose this phone i lose the game progress.
    And this iphone is kinda dying, very very old. Is there a way to transfer this game's files, data, and save my progress?
    I know that when I do this, i just have to transfer it to my otehr phone and substitute the game's files with the old ones from this old phone, and they will appear in the game, but how do i find these files to start?

    The PITA with iCloud is that you can’t download folders, you have to go into the iCloud folders and select each of the individual files that you want to download to your PC. I may be cynical but I can only assume that Apple don’t want you to easily use a local storage method so that you maintain your iCloud subscription. It certainly doesn’t work as easily as Dropbox for doing file transfers in any case. If anyone has a workaround for a bulk download of files from iCloud to PC I would love to know the answer!
