Setup notes
Help
On Mac, connect iPhone with cable, unlock it, and tap Trust if iOS asks. Then choose the destination folder or external drive in Portage.
On iPhone, connect a USB-C SSD, export originals from Photos to the drive, verify the copy, write the manifest, then delete only the imported originals after confirmation.
If fewer items appear than Photos shows on the phone, those items may be in iCloud, Hidden, Shared Library, Recently Deleted, or another area Image Capture does not expose over cable.
Portage writes manifests to the destination folder so it can recognize existing verified imports later and skip copying files that are already present.
