  • Are you using a Windows laptop, or a Mac?

    If it is Windows, then when you connect it with the USB cable, it should be visible as an external hard drive from which you can copy over anything saved in your "Camera Roll".

    yeah im a bit disappointed with that aspect to be honest.
    it shows as the bluetooth being on but wont actually find any devices despite it being sat next to my laptop and my laptop had the bluetooth on

    Bluetooth on any iphone isn't fully functional. You can't transfer pics, songs, videos etc. You can only use it to connect to headsets etc.

    Only thing about the iphone I dislike.
