If your camera or DSLR doesn't have built-in wifi, there hasn't been an easy way to get your pictures off your camera onto your iPhone, except by going via a Mac or PC.

But thanks to iOS 9.2 and [Apple's new camera connection accessories](<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014VGHG0U/ref=cmswrcpawd_81OBwb61SNSS7&tag=whitjetp-20 >), you can connect your camera or SD card and import pictures right to your iPhone.

  In fact, iOS 9.2 allows the iPhone to work with the [older photography accessories](<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0149QE3RQ/ref=cmswrcpawdQ0ZBwb008VHC4/&tag=whitjetp-20 >) that used to be iPad-only as well, so if you have an older connector, it'll now work with your iPhone. I tested it out with my [Olympus OM-D E-M5](<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S6DBMOQ/ref=cmswrcpawd_6XOBwbD8Q4PNM/&tag=whitjetp-20 >) and the old 30-Pin USB camera adapter and it imported the photos just as expected.

Why Apple waited 7 years to open this feature up on the iPhone is beyond me, but I'm glad it's here!
