I do this frequently, using two different methods, depending on how many files I wish to transfer.

  • The easiest thing is this - open email on the PC and
    • Send yourself an email with the files attached.
    • Then open the email on your Apple iPhone and download the files.
  • The other method I use - purchase a thumb drive that offers USB and (in your case) lightning ports.
    • Attach the drive to the PC using the USB port. Copy the files to be moved there.
    • Then attach the lightning side to your iPhone and move the files where you want.


I hope this helps.
