Field notes
The page lays out separate steps for iPhone and iPad versus Mac: devices find each other, the sender selects or drags files, and the receiver accepts them. It says received files appear in the Files app's Slipstream folder. Its speed comparison is based on one 10 GB iPhone-to-iPad transfer, and the page cautions that device, cable, file, and surrounding conditions affect results.
