Q: How to transfer and delete photos?

Hi, I have a question for you guys.

What is the safest and best way to transfer my photos on the iPhone to the MacBook, and then delete all the photos on the iPhone in order to free up space? I want all my photos to stay on the MacBook after I've deleted them from the iPhone.

Thanks for quick answer. Follow up question: If I use iCloud Photo Library, so that I have all my photos on the iPhone and on the MacBook, will they then disapear from the MacBook as well when I delete them on the iPhone?

Yes they will. Please be very careful with your valuable pictures as they are easy to lose that way. This article may help.
