I agree about the importance of pleasing yourself.

With my Mac and my iPhone, I just Air Drop the images back and forth.

why
use the phone?

You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

I sold mine. (Actually I still have a Fuji MX-1 and a Fuji XQ-1, but I

can’t remember when I used them last.)

For android to mac there is Android file transfer, which is a glorious pain in the ass to get it to actually connect.  It’s as if both Android and Apple want to say that it can be done, but they both go out of their way to make it difficult.

There is also an Android App Wifi File Explorer which allows you to point a browser to your android’s file system and download files over wifi.  It has issues, but it works, and I expect it will work with any OS.

Which is adequate for the limited use I make of the cell phone camera.

I'm sort of the inverse ... If you can photograph it with a proper camera why use the phone?

I basically use my camera for photography and my cell phone for documentation.  I have a Pixel 3 which is supposed to have one of the best phone cameras available, I just don’t like the feel of the images. Their automatic processing to jpeg doesn’t please me, and the raw files are too brittle to get what I like.  I probably have a few photos from the phone that don’t suck, I’ve just never expended the effort to process them.

An ongoing wish among many is to apply the computational photography thrown at phone sensors to camera sensors.

You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

The funny thing about my photography is that there are a fair number of people who are much more pleased by my photos than I am, so I often don’t worry overmuch whether I would like it, I just try to get something the person I’m taking the photo for would like.

iPhone photos can be effortlessly transferred to a Mac via Airdrop. Very convenient.

In the past I’ve used a lesser phone to document ideas I may later want to pursue as newspaper or magazine articles, usually with the intention of shooting with a camera subsequently. A few phone pics have made it into print because they were there when needed. I will probably use the 12 professionally on occasion. But its lack of long lens capability is limiting. However, it’s just what I need for family pics and social events.

If you use a Samsung, you can link your computer to your phone and drag and
drop files between them. I'm not sure if it's an android thing or a Samsung
thing though.
I think with my iPad I had to use iTunes to do it and Apple didn't make it
easy.

If your phone is an iPhone you can link it to your Windows machine with
the "Documents" app from Readdle.  Images are downloaded over your LAN
as a zip file so the transfer is pretty fast.

Last night I shot my wife, Charmaine, in Portrait mode. Since Portrait
mode includes some in-camera shenanigans to blur the background, it can’t
be combined with RAW mode, but It’s handy for quick portraits. This was
shot with the telephoto lens which is 65 mm equivalent. A bit of retouching
as one must do when shooting a portrait of one’s wife.

If you have OneDrive on your iphone/iPad and your PC you can set OneDrive to upload your pictures individually, ie not zipped, automatically from the Photos folder on the iOS device. You can also get OneDrive for Android.

There are other file-sharing apps which are not Windows and do the same thing, including Amazon Photos and Google Photos.

If you shoot with Lightroom on your phone it cloud syncs automatically so the photos are available on all the devices where you have the cloud version of LR.

If you use a Samsung, you can link your computer to your phone and drag and
drop files between them.

On my Olympus Pen F I can connect to phone or iPad Mini wirelessly and browse the SD card, deleting if necessary, assessing for later or even emailing /uploading to cloud. Nice interface too.
