Easy iPhone screenshots with OS X Yosemite

A great new feature added to QuickTime player with OS X Yosemite is the ability to record your iPhones screen, simply by plugging it into your Mac with a lightning cable and setting the recording source to your phone.

It’s very easy once your showing the screen on your desktop to take a screenshot.

This will save a nice PNG to your desktop with a tidy version of the status bar (time set to 9:41 AM and the carrier removed).
