How to EASILY and QUICKLY transfer a single photo from macbook air to iphone?

I can't believe that Apple has no easy way to send a single photo from my macbook to my iphone. No I do not want to connect my iphone with a USB cable to my mac. I want to airdrop the photo or something similar. Something easy and quickly. Airdrop on my mac doesn't even detect my iphone (and I know I'm not the only one this happens to). How can it be easier for me to send a photo to my friend than it is to send it between my own devices. Ridiculous!!

MacBook Air, iOS 9.1

I can't believe it either! Why Apple ought to invent something like AirDrop for just that purpose! Oh. Apple has invented AirDrop for just that purpose. Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

AirDrop has specific hardware and operating system requirements: Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. If either your MacBook or the iPhone you wish to use does not meet them, use the Share option shown above.

Dropbox or iCloud is your friend.
