I have been trying to help my brother get his pictures to his Chromebook
computer. I think he has a I Phone, but am not sure. Whatever he has,
many picture "stored" on his cellphone.

It it were pictures stored on his phone to Windows, I can do that, but
Chromebook and Possibly Iphone are different.

What would be the best way to get his pictures to his computer.

If it is an Iphone, is there away to access the picture that our stored
on the Iphone System. I believe there is a way to access the online
system from an android phone but I do not know how to access.

I am quite literate in Windows, but not the cellphone/chromebook systems.

Generally chromebooks don't have lots of storage, they're designed to
store store stuff in the cloud, rather than on the device. You can
install Android apps on Chromebooks, so Google Photos might be a good
starting point?

If he has his pictures backed up to the icloud he could download them
from there through a web browser.

If he doesn't there used to be an app called 'files' or 'fileapp' which
made the iphone an ftp server allowing transfer of files. Maybe this
will do something similar:

An easy way, but not as fast as a hardware-based transfer, is to use
cloud storage. That way, he has copies of his files on his computers,
backup copies in the cloud, and copies to any other computer with a sync
client connecting to the same account (unless you make the files public,
in which case whomever you give the URL can retrieve the files).

Since your brother has a Chromebook, isn't Google Drive already
installed? He will need a Google account to have access to Google Drive
online, but then a Chromebook very likely has a Google account
associated to it. Google Drive has a free storage of 15 GB. More can
be added at a fee, but that's only needed if huge files are gettings
stored in the cloud, or if a lot of files are stored there.

Google accounts also include Google Photos which is part of Google
Drive. You sure his pics aren't already stored in Google Photos? By
default, photos get reduced in size which means lower resolution, but
you can opt to keep photos at their original resolution.

https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/photos/about/
https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/12791741?hl=en

He can get the Google Drive app on iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-drive/id507874739

Microsoft has the own OneDrive cloud storage and sync clients:

https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/chrome-os/301345/google-improves-onedrive-and-microsoft-365-integration-with-chromeos

Otherwise, he cannot simply plug a USB cable into his iPhone to his
Chromebook to transfer files? Or plug a USB flash drive into his
iPhone, transfer files to it, and move the USB flash drive to his
Chromebook?

You never hesitate to tackle the most difficult problems.
