Connecting your iPhone to a Mac computer is relatively easy to do. With options for wired and wireless connectivity, hooking your iOS device up to your Mac Book or Mac mini unlocks a world of options. Not only will you be able to upload media to your phone, but you can also use your computer to load firmware updates onto your mobile device. And today, we’re going to teach you how to get your new or old iPhone ready for a wired or wireless handshake.
