issue importing photos and video using MacOS V 12.3.1

hello, each time I attach my iPhone pro 13 w/ a USB cord, it uploads the "new" photos from my phone but it always says there are 100+ each time even if I finish, and then re attach it 10 seconds later with no new photos to upload... see pic. thanks!


Mac mini, macOS 12.3

Hi


What format of the file is on the phone, and what is on the PC. Is the phone taking HEIC photos, but converting them to jpg for transfer to the mac. If so, they won't be recognised as duplicates - change the phone photos setting "transfer to pc or mac" to "keep originals".


Or are these files from other apps (eg messenger apps/email/whatsapp etc). Often these are modified in some way before transfer. The only solution in this case seems to be to delete them off the phone after transfer.
