Apple corrupted images on my iPhone where I can’t import them to my PC via photos, but I can backup the whole phone.

They finally recognized there is an issue, but there is no fix, as of a few weeks ago :(

I had a similar issue recently. I used the Windows Photo app to import & delete photos from my iPhone. When it finished, I realized that a significant fraction of the photos had been corrupted. Not sure where in the pipeline it happened, or if they were already corrupted on the phone.

Yeah, that's one of the billion reasons I'm sticking to Android phones with gasp file managers and shock expandable storage via an SD card slot.

I never need to import anything when I can simply copy the data from the card.

But files are hard, scary and dangerous! What if a scammer asks Grandma to open the files app or copy photos directly to her pc!?
