"For years I have successfully imported photos from my iPhone to my Mac. But now, I am experiencing severe problems when trying to import photos from my iPhone 8 Plus. It takes hours to transfer only 10 pictures. I have restarted, reinstalled the app and it's still unbelievably slow. Is this normal?? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?"
Several reasons can cause the slow transfer speed. Figure out the reasons and speed up the transfer speed.
1. Too Many Photos to Import from iPhone.
No matter you are using iCloud or iTunes to upload or import photos, it would surely slow down the importing speed when you have many photos to upload.
2. Poor Network Speed.
Also, the network is a big concern. If you are using the internet to import photos, the network speed and connection really matters for this situation. If you cannot connect to the server or your network speed is slow, it's impossible to sync or transfer iPhone data.
3. Wrong Transferring Tool.
Most users complain that the photo transfer speed is extremely slow when they are using Lightroom to transfer photos to Mac. Maybe, change the transferring tool can solve this problem:
4. iOS System Updating Problem.
Last year, Apple switched from prioritizing performance to prioritizing battery health on iPhone. As a result, some users have seen significant slowdowns. Apple is addressing concerns about the slowdowns with a battery replacement program and upcoming software update.
According to the reasons, we can fix the Apple slow transferring speed respectively.
Method 1. Select Less Photos at a Time

Step 3. Then click the "Transfer" button to start transferring photos from iPhone to computer. Wait patiently for the process to finish and then go to check the exported items.
