    Hey there zwswim,

     

    It sounds like you are concerned that your high quality images are smaller when synced to your phone. According to the following article that is expected to happen:

     

    About the iPod Photo Cache folder

    When you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, iTunes creates a folder called iPod Photo Cache. This folder stores photos that are optimized for display on your device.
