This wikiHow teaches you how to copy photos from one iPhone onto another iPhone. The easiest way to do this is by using iCloud Photo Library, but if you don't have enough iCloud storage for all of your photos, you can use iTunes to back up the photos from one iPhone and then restore them onto the other iPhone. If you only want to transfer a few photos, you can also use your iPhone's AirDrop feature to transfer photos to another iPhone that's within a few feet.
