Way 1. How to Transfer iCloud Photos to New Apple ID via iCloud Photo Sync

Way 2. How to Transfer Photos to a New Apple ID via AirDrop

If you only want to transfer a few photos and videos between Apple IDs, the AirDrop function of Apple devices may be helpful. AirDrop can quickly share data between different Apple devices that are logged in with different Apple IDs, which means you need to have at least two Apple devices that are logged in with different Apple IDs.
