Most notably, iPhone Pro 15\/16 users get a big speed boost.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what to do.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Moving video and images between Apple devices without AirDrop<\/h3>\n<p>An iPhone makes a brilliant camera, but iPad offers far better video and image editing apps. The obvious strategy is to take the pictures or record the video on the handset, then move them to the tablet.<\/p>\n<p>You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/how-to\/how-to-airdrop\" data-lasso-id=\"1641753511\">AirDrop to wirelessly transfer files<\/a> between your devices, even without a Wi-fi hotspot. But now that both iPad and iPhone have USB-C ports, it\u2019s a snap to connect them via cable to move these files. Especially as you can use the charging cable you already carry around.<\/p>\n<p>This possibility obviously occurred to Apple too, so the Photos app has a built-in function to allow for the easy transfer pictures and video from iPhone to iPad.<\/p>\n<h3>AirDrop vs. cable<\/h3>\n<p>Your transfer choices come down to \u201csend\u201d or \u201cpull\u201d. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/airdrop\" data-lasso-id=\"1641753512\">AirDrop<\/a>, you wirelessly send a file from one device to another. Or, when transferring via a cable, the tablet pulls the file off the handset. To put it another way, either you can be on your iPhone choosing which files to send, or you can be on your iPad deciding which files to pull over. That\u2019s one of the major differences between the two, so you can choose which you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m sending one single file, AirDrop is usually the better option. But if I\u2019m selecting multiple files, picking some and skipping others, I prefer to make a wired connection so I can easily see what\u2019s on the iPhone on the iPad\u2019s large display before I make the transfer by pulling the files over.<\/p>\n<p>Those using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/reviews\/iphone-16-pro-review\" data-lasso-id=\"1641753513\">iPhone Pro<\/a> or Pro Max to move files via the USB-C port can expect a speed advantage over AirDrop. These devices transfer files with USB 3.2 Gen 2, so data moves over cables at up to 10Gbps. But non-Pro models are limited to USB 2.0 speeds: up to just 0.48Gbps.<\/p>\n<p>To test a transfer of video from iPhone to iPad, I used a standard iPhone 16 \u2014 without the Pro speed boost\u2014 so moving a 1.2 GB video file took 32 seconds. That\u2019s almost the exact same speed as transferring the test file over AirDrop. The wireless system uses a direct Wi-Fi connection between the Apple devices, so it\u2019s fairly quick. Pro users can expect such transfers to go more quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>How to transfer video from iPhone to iPad over USB-C cable<\/h2>\n<p>The first step in moving images and video from iPhone to iPad over a cable is (shocker!) connecting the two devices with a cable. You can use the one that came with your iPhone, but it\u2019s designed for charging rather than data. It\u2019ll work, but you probably won\u2018t get 10Gbps. Use a better quality cable that\u2019s rated to handle USB 3.2 Gen 2.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"31740\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_31740\" class=\"wp-caption post-body-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"1641753514\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-898372\" title=\"Trust this Computer?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-1440x810.jpg\" alt=\"Trust This Computer?\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-1440x810.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-768x432@2x.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-1020x573.jpg.webp 1020w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01.jpg.webp 1560w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/transfer-video-from-iphone-to-ipad_01-400x225@2x.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_31740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"border-color: #b55e12;\">You have to assure your iPhone that you trust the iPad before you can transfer pictures or video.<br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;font-size:11px\">Photo: Ed Hardy\/Cult of Mac<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you connect the devices, wait a moment until a pop-up appears on the iPhone asking if you <strong>Trust This Computer<\/strong>.
