The Apple Photos app will also import photos from your phone. Just connect via lightning and it should show you a list of photos that can be imported. It will also do duplicate filtering if you already have imported some. It also has an option to remove the photos from your phone if you want to free up space.

I don’t use that feature as much anymore as I’m all in on iCloud now, but it worked fine when I last did it about a year ago.

Apple Photos has been terrible for dealing with huge amounts of photos, that’s why I stopped using it. Meanwhile iMazing works perfectly for transferring the photos, and then I keep them in plain old folders.
