Your precious family photos can be lost in minutes due to iPhone theft, physical damage, malware infection or device malfunction. If your phone gets bricked for any reason, your device becomes unusable and irreparable and hence the chances of retrieving your data are almost minimal. And even if you\u2019re lucky enough, the data recovery services can be quite expensive in nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is exactly why a lot of people choose to transfer their photos and other precious data to their computer and external hard disks as part of their backup strategy. Transferring photos from your iPhone to a Windows 11 PC can be helpful to not only reclaim lost storage, but also protect your data from iPhone theft and other technical glitches. Here are some methods to accomplish the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Using a Data Cable<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Method 1: Using File Explorer<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plugin the data cable that came with your iPhone to the USB port on your Windows 11 PC.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as you connect your iPhone to the PC, a notification will pop-up on your iPhone.
