You can literally configure a Mac with a couple of clicks to offload every image from an iPhone to whatever folder you want locally. It's honestly hard to think of a way it could possibly be made easier.

Where it becomes hard is if the photos only exist on icloud. I have a good 60gb i cannot move off icloud. First party tools dont work. The download website apple provides for icloud data doesnt work. Photos app crashes to desktop. Third party command line interface tools don’t work. I’m at a loss. These data are being held hostage.
