If you are an iPhone user then definitely one or the other day your video files, images, and other sorts of files stored on it will take up the entire storage media space of your iPhone. Typically, videos that you captured or movies you downloaded from the internet onto your iPhone eat-up the major space of the device. So, you need to transfer them to a computer and remove from your iPhone to free up the storage space.
Apart from storage concern even if you have recorded shots using your iPhone and they are important for you then transferring them to any accessible computer is a wiser action.
