Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I used iTunes to copy a folder of photos from my iMac to my iPhone 13.
When I view the file size on the iPhone of any photo it is drastically smaller than the original photo on the Photos app on the iMac. For example, file size on iMac 2.4Mb, file size of photo file after copying to the iPhone is 649kb.
Why is that?
I do not use iCloud.
Thanks, Peter
When you sync photos manually to the iPhone with iTunes or the Finder, the photos will be synced in a reduced resolution for viewing on the device. The reduction is specific for each device.
Alos photos downloaded from My Photo Stream or Shared albums will have reduced dimensions.
Only syncing with iCloud Photos, Air Dropping, or Mail may preserve the full resolution.

Thanks for your help. I did not know this! Peter
