Copying original, full size image. I must be missing something, again.

iPhone 14 Max Pro. I take a picture in RAW format. The gallery says the file size is 51MB which is correct.


When I look at the file in iCloud drive, a) it was converted to jpg, and b) the file size is 4.7MB.


Note that my iCloud/Photos settings says "download and keep originals."


Furthermore, even when I copy the original RAW file from the gallery and save it using the files app to a Windows computer on my network, once again the file is converted to jpg and is compressed to 4.7MB. This is fairly ridiculous because I'm literally trying to copy a file. NOTHING should be done to the file during a copy.


How do I get the original RAW file off of this phone?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

For anyone struggling with this, you must have your photo aspect ratio set to 4:3 otherwise the DNG gets converted to JPG when you move the file off of the iPhone. LMAO great job letting us know about that, Apple.
