I have the latest iPhone but an older Macbook Air (2015). I'm in the process of migrating photos from Google Photos back into iPhoto. I have iCloud enabled, but am running into storage issues on the older Macbook. Where are the actually photos I take stored? iPhone? iPhoto on Mac? or iCloud?
I have thousands and thousands of photos. My iPhone storage shows about 6GB of photos, but my Macbook shows 22GB. Where are they actually stored?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
Your photos are stored on all devices if you sync with iCloud. Many users elect to save the photos on their Mac and optimize storage on other devices. Optimizing keeps high-res versions of your photos in iCloud and reduces the image quality on connected devices on which the setting has been turned on.
