How Long Does It Take to AirDrop 1,000 Photos?

My iCloud has been full for a while, and I want to use AirDrop or cable to transfer them to my Macbook. There are about 1,000 photos, and I wonder how long it will take to complete the task.

The time it takes to AirDrop 1,000 photos will depend on various factors, such as the size of the images, the speed of the devices, and the strength of the wireless connection. On average, AirDrop can transfer around 1-2 photos per second. So, if we estimate around 1.5 photos per second, transferring 1,000 photos would take approximately 666 seconds or about 11 minutes.

However, it's important to note that this is just an estimate and the actual time may vary based on the factors mentioned earlier. Transferring a large number of photos at once can put a strain on battery life and may impact the performance of the devices, so it's best to be prepared for this possibility.

Using AirDrop to share pictures is a convenient option, as it has no limitations on file size or the number of pictures. However, AirDrop may reduce the quality of photos if your iPhone is set to optimize storage space. To maintain the quality of your photos, you should try an alternative way of photo transfer with a USB cable.
