How the suffering fuck do you get photos off an iPhone onto a windows 10 machine?

Mine does it to flickr..... which is quite handy

Do google claim copyright of your photos if you upload them?

Don't be daft. They're stored privately, and you can upload an unlimited amount of photos up to 16MP.

Don't be daft.

Why is that a daft question? Facebook do/did it (I don't know if they still do).

Edit: its alright, a quick google answered it.

Google
Making only small waves in the field of social networking, Google+ is probably not the place where most users first agreed to Google's terms of service. Most users probably signed up through one of Google’s many online services like Gmail, Google Maps or Google Drive. Luckily Google has a modest set of terms when it comes to user’s content, restricting its use of such content only for "the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones."

They don't "own" them, they just have right to use them.....

Unlike Facebook

Specifically for photos and video uploaded to the site, Facebook has a license to use your content in any way it sees fit, with a license that goes beyond merely covering the operation of the service in its current form. Facebook can transfer or sub-license its rights over a user’s content to another company or organisation if needed. Facebook’s license does not end upon the deactivation or deletion of a user’s account, content is only released from this license once all other users that have interacted with the content have also broken their ties with it (for example, a photo or video shared or tagged with a group of friends).

There was still no need to be rude about it though.

Yes, but that's entirely different. On Facebook people publish things. Google Photos is not a social network: items are all stored privately (unless you elect to share them). It's superb - I've backed tens of thousands of photos for free.

Google hasn't always exactly been reputed for its data privacy policies, it was a totally valid question.

I don't believe it has ever come close to claiming copyright on privately stored personal images in its long history.

You're hardly going to have 3000 photos actually on a phone. That would require vast amounts of space (and thus money).

Getting there
