I know there are built-in programs on macOS that allow you to import photos from iPhone to Mac directly without third-party software. But there are reasons why I recommend you try the iPhone transfer software - EaseUS MobiMover.

As an iOS data transfer tool, EaseUS MobiMover supports not only photos but also many other types of content, like videos, music, ringtones, contacts, books, and more. Besides, it allows you to transfer files between an iPhone/iPad/iPod and a Mac or between two iDevices. Other than data transfer features, it can also be used to download online videos, back up iPhone data, and transfer WhatsApp messages.

Step 3. Now, click the 'Transfer' button to start transferring photos or other files from your iPhone to Mac without iTunes. Exporting files from iPhone to Mac with MobiMover is the right way for backup to avoid unexpected data loss.
