This might be a good solution to you if your motivation for moving photos from your iPhone to your Mac was to save space on your iPhone. You can download the high-res versions at any time. So you can see all your photos but they don’t take up significant space on your devices. ICloud Photos is a great option if you are short of space on your iPhone and Mac as you can choose a setting that means that while the full-res photos are stored in the cloud, smaller versions appear on your device. This means you’ll be able to see the photos you took on your iPhone on your Mac without doing anything (although you may need to have access to a Wi-Fi network before your photos sync this way). If you sign up for iCloud Photos all your photos will be synced across all your Apple devices.
When an image has been imported you will see a green tick in the bottom right corner. That’s a handy option if you like to keep several different photo projects stored in their own individual folders. By default, Image Capture will import your photos into the Pictures folder on your Mac (which is separate from the Photos app), but it also allows you to specify other folders as well. You can use the Import All command, or just select individual photos that you want to import. This information may be useful when deciding what to import. This information will be useful for more knowledgeable photographers. You’ll see a list of your photos along with quite a bit of technical information, such as file sizes, file type, width and height, and sometimes aperture settings and shutter speed. Wait while the Photos in your camera roll are prepared (this can take a while if there are a lot of photos on your iPhone). Unlock your iPhone when you see the prompt onscreen. Open Image Capture (press Command + Space and start typing Image to find the app). Plug your iPhone into your Mac (you will need a cable to connect your iPhone to your Mac). Be careful not to click on the white space as it will deselect everything and you’ll have to start again! When you are ready click on ‘Import Selected’. Click and drag and a square will appear, just cover the area you want to select with the square, if you want to deselect an image just hold the shift key and click on it. If you want to import just a few photos you can click on each photo, or select a number by clicking and dragging your mouse over them. If you want to import everything then click on the Import All button. Now you need to decide whether you want to ‘Import All New Items’ to import everything into Photos that isn’t already there, or import just a selection of photos. If you want to You might want to create a new album (perhaps called backup or similar) select New Album, enter the name and click on Create. This could be your Library or you could add them to an existing album or a new album. Beside ‘Import to’ there is a drop-down menu that allows you to choose where you want to import the photos to. 
(In our case these were predominantly photos that had been shared with us via Whatsapp). You’ll see a line of those ‘Already Imported’ and below that any ‘New Items’ which Photos hasn’t found in your library.
It may take a while but eventually you will see thumbnails of the images on your iPhone. Look for your iPhone under Devices in the left-hand column and click on it. Open the Photos app on your Mac (if it doesn’t automatically open). Connect your iPhone to your Mac via the USB port. One of the quickest and easiest ways of transferring photos on to a Mac is to plug your iPhone into the USB port on your Mac (assuming you have the necessary cable with a connection that’s compatible with your Mac).
