In this video I’ll show how to get large video clips even in ProRes format, or any file off your iPhone 13 or 14 Pro, as quickly and conveniently as possible. All the methods I’ll discuss in this video will work with any iPhone or iPad.

I’ll show how you can connect a fast external USB SSD and if you’re offloading video files, you can then edit them directly off this drive. Then we’ll send the files wirelessly using WiFi, which is actually the fastest method I’ve found so far, apart from AirDrop which only works with Apple devices. I’ll compare speeds with these two methods against using a Lightning cable and also AirDrop.

As I alluded to, I'm more interested in getting large video clips off my phone to use in my video editing software, but both methods are also useful for freeing up space on your phone.

[Update 14th September 2022. The latest iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro still use a Lightning port with USB 2 speeds. So everything in this video still applies. Hopefully next year's iPhone will switch to USBC and faster transfer speeds!]
