The high quality of the camera in the iPhone has made it easier than ever to capture pictures of everyday life, and while there are a large number of services to share photos online, how to get them onto your desktop computer is not always obvious. However, the various versions of Windows all offer an automated process to transfer photos from your iPhone to your PC.
