Method 2 - How to Transfer Photos from Camera to iPhone Without Computer
Money can solve everything. You just need a smart camera to iPhone connecting gadget – whatever you may call it – simply search for an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter or Camera to iPhone cord/cable and you will find them in a flash.
This is the most direct and simplest way to connect your camera to iPhone/iPad without computer. And you can get those pictures from camera to iPhone/iPad with no internet or Wi-Fi needed. Apple official site offers this kind of adapter yet it only has one USB port for one camera alone. Amazon and Walmart offers more choices and smarter tools like an iOS Hub with camera/USB/charging port three-in-one.
Step 1. Plug a USB cable into your cam and connect it to the adapter.
Step 2. Plug the adapter into the lightning port of your iPhone/iPad.
However, not all cameras has a USB port for connection. Some older models still adopt SD card only, therefore, to get photo off SD card to iPhone/iPad, you may go looking for a SD card camera reader for iOS.
