You pull out your phone with just enough time to pop open the camera and frame the perfect photo before it’s too late. Time is always of the essence when you’re shooting real-life scenes and another second or two would have been too late. Your iPhone focuses, you snap the shutter button and boom… the dreaded “not enough storage” message pops up on your screen just as your subject vanishes. That’s right, your iPhone was already full of photos and videos, and you didn’t have enough storage to save another one.
It’s happened to us all at one point or another, but one simple device will help make sure it never happens again. Check out the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive, which works with any iPhone or iPad that has a Lightning connector, and could be the best purchase you make this year.
The iXpand flash drive features a Lightning plug on one end and a standard USB plug on the other. Using a free companion app, you can save all the photos and videos on your iPhone to the drive. Then you can keep them there or connect to your Mac or Windows PC and save them on your hard drive.
