9. WinX MediaTrans

• Compatibility: Windows, Mac

Traditional iPhone cleaner apps like those mentioned above mainly help delete junk files, and remove useless cache and log files, which can be roughly accomplished in the default iPhone feature as a matter of fact. Furthermore, after spending time in doing so, you'll finally realize that the outcome is not obvious because such cookies take only a small percentage in the total memory of your iPhone. The things that take up fatal space are those high definition (or 4K) videos and photos in "Photos & Camera" or other apps.

"I take a ton of photos and videos on my iPhone and back when I had a 16GB iPhone. And it's a huge pain in the butt to have to go through and figure out what to delete."

Believably, the majorities of iPhone users have such concern and are reluctant to delete even the continuously so-so shot pictures. In this case, some users will want to get media files off iPhone to clear up the space on iPhone. And a good app to do this is WinX MediaTrans.

WinX MediaTrans comes as a brand-new iPhone storage saver that oversets the traditional iPhone cleaner. It is able to send photos, music and videos from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch to a computer or an external hard drive (SSD drive) to dedicate to archiving, and vice versa. In such way, you can save as much space as you can (no upper limit) without deleting and losing anything at all. It is faster, safer and easier. It is designed for iOS device owners that have a Windows or Mac computer.

"Winx mediatrans does surprise me with its transfer speed. I can transfer 100 pics (each above 2.5M) from my iPhone to PC in only 10 seconds", commented by a user.
