You can prevent automatic installation of Apps on either device by making a minor change to your settings:

Settings > App Store > [Automatic Downloads] >

  • Apps - set to OFF
  • App Updates - set to OFF





Similarly, you can prevent Photos being synchronised between devices:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Photos >

  • iCloud Photos - set to OFF
  • My Photo Stream - set to OFF
  • Shared Albums - set to OFF
