As title, when I use Photos on Mac (OS 10.15.6) to import photos from my iPhone, and then export the imported photos (unmodified original) to a folder, a letter "O" will be always added automatically, as shown below. How to fix this?
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14
If you have a lot of files to do that Name Mangler can do the job on all at one time in one to two ways:
Finder can do bulk renames now, too.

Yes, the AAE contains the edits info, but the HEIC is still in the original untouched format, so the AAE is needed. When I remove the letter "O" from the AAE filename, Photos will correctly combine the HEIC and AAE to show the edited photo. My problem is that I have to manually remove the letter "O" for each AAE file, which is quite annoying.

The aae file contains edits made to an image using the Photos app on an iOS device. It is used to transfer non-destructive edits a user has made to jpg images in iOS to the macOS system.
So you shouldn't need to keep them. They are used when importing into a Photos library so the edits are included.
